My last kids were born when I was in my forties, so I still had little kids around me, which gave me the illusion of feeling younger.

It's my job to try to communicate with as little showiness as possible. I was a really showy actor as a young man.

But in order to be the thing you want to be, you have to work like a dog at the thing you love.

If you're lucky as you get older, you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.

When asked what it takes to succeed in the acting profession, Bette Davis would answer, "The courage to be hated."

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

What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.
