I love the theater because I love the live audience and when we went three cameras we have a live audience in the study so we had someone to play to and react to. That laughter.

Now I have the voice of a 16-year-old. I'm looking for a doctor who could give me the body of a 16-year-old.

Poverty can teach lessons that privilege cannot.

I'm 83 and a half years old and I feel fine. I feel like a teenager but I'm unable to do a lot of the things that I used to do but I enjoy life to the fullest.

The only tool we have as artists is selectivity. If you're a painter, you select the color, the lines, how severe they should be. As an actor you develop how angry you should be. You select how angry you should be. You listen to the other actor and then you react. In film, sometimes the other actor isn't even there. You have to play the scene. What I do is I call on my experience on the stage. I play the scene and I hope that I reach a certain level of integrity because that's what I learned on the stage.

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

For 50 years, acting was the reason I got up in the morning.
