I'm a taskmaster. I was brought up that way, and I'm sure I imposed that on my kids.

To go on being an actor, you need sheer animal energy. If you can't restock your energy, you have to hide your lack of it.

The whole business of marshaling ones energies becomes more and more important as one grows older.

I'm going to teach you to HATE spending money.

I do a lot of planning and plotting. That's my greatest weakness. If I'm not terribly careful, I'll plan to a point where it could come out cut and dried.

I fill my life with a lot of 'busyness' in between jobs. Then I work very hard. Some of it is quite unhealthy. It's compulsive. I don't know what to do about it. I'm a little old to change.

I find it very difficult just to sit. I would love to learn how to do that with contentment.
