A world without Tony Randall is a world that I cannot recognize.

I saw John Garfield smoke. He was my idol, so I smoked. I even smoked like him.

Suddenly it was gone. I'd lost more than my voice and my career. I'd lost my best friend.

Time is very important to art and if you don't have the time to select, art goes out the window.

Acting became my best friend. When I auditioned to get into college, the teacher said you belong here, Mr. Klugman, and to hear that word belong - I never belonged anywhere before - and suddenly I belonged in acting and it was so comfortable and I loved it.

I know know why ... if something not broke, don't fix it. Twelve Angry Men was the perfect movie. The cast was just the best cast you could possibly get together. The director was Sidney Lumet, the best director around. So why they made the remake I don't know.

We learned out craft. Acting is a craft and you must learn it. I see a lot of talent today in the kids but they don't know how to work. They don't know the craft of acting and you can only get that on the stage in theater. You cannot learn how to act in movies or in television.
