I dont know how it is now but the assistant stage manager had to understudy several parts. You had to be ready to go on at any time if the actor couldnt make it to the play. I didnt think anything of it.

I've never played anyone but myself on screen.

When I'm on camera, I have to do things pretty much the way I do things in everyday life. It gives the audience someone real to identify with.

We have allowed corporations to decide the fate of the cities. We hardly speak of democratic development.

It feels good. It feels real good.

William Holden and I weren't just good friends. He was my very best friend. I feel his loss very much still.

Some actors count their lines as soon as they receive a script. I'm the opposite. I try to see how many lines I can whittle down. You can say just as much in 4 as you can in 14.
