I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.

None of us kids had a middle name. We were lucky we had any name at all. By the time my mother got around to naming one, there was another on the way.

I look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.

Fall in love with what you're going to do for a living. To be able to get out of bed and do what you love to do for the rest of the day is beyond words. I'd rather be a failure in something I love than be successful in something I hate.

I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.

Being an actor is easy, just picture someone in a room and you outside waiting for your cue to go in. Elliot Gould's been trying that for forty years.

Dress simply. If you wear a dinner jacket, don't wear anything else on it ... like lunch or dinner.
