Which one of us, anywhere in the world, doesn't yearn to be believed when the audience is watching?

I met [Gilda Radner] on the first night of filming ... Hanky Panky that Sidney Poitier was directing. And it's funny, I was in costume and makeup - my tuxedo and makeup because I'd done a few shots before she arrived, and she told me later that she cried all the way in, in the car, because she knew that she was going to fall in love with me and want to get married.

And in 'Frisco Kid' and in 'The Woman in Red' I had to ride badly. Then you have to really ride well in order to ride badly.

Dont put the sheep on the table.

I wanted to be an actor. Maybe a comic actor, but an actor. That's what got me into acting was putting on an act, because in life, I wasn't funny and I felt on stage or in the movies, I could do whatever I wanted to. I was free.

I had improvised a lot in classes and at the Actors Studio, but I never did it in front of the camera.

My favorite author is Anton Chekhov, not so much for the plays but for his short stories, and I think he was really my tutor.
