If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.

All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.

What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.

I never feel sexy. I have a distant relationship with the mirror.

Los Angeles is where you have to be if you want to be an actor. You have no choice. You go there or New York. I flipped a coin about it. It came up New York, so I flipped again. When you're starting out to be an actor, who wants to go where it's cold and miserable and be poor there?

[Jimmy] Breslin's [write] really great book on Branch Rickey. And Branch Rickey himself wrote quite a lot. There's some film and kinescope from television.
