You start acting in spite of your neuroses, not because of them.

You can only lead by example.

I always signed autographs when I could and always stayed and chatted with them when I could.

I just feel that no matter what comes in a career - and mine has been all over the map - you must stay at the table, pick up the cards you're dealt and play them.

Each of us needs something - food, liquor, pot, whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.

When I closed in "King Lear" I went into a period of depression for about three weeks, and every actor I've talked to who's ever played a major, major Shakespeare role has done this.

Actors want to show off and dance in front of you and get your love, because they don't think they're worthy of it in any other way.
