Everything that is truly worthwhile - I think passion is involved in your approach to it. No matter what it is.

Dying is not a sin. Not living is.

I had no desire to be in the movies. All my training had been in the theater, thank God.

I was born in an elevator, and - as my mother said - naturally it was going down. She said, "All I remember is telling your father, 'That's it! Never again!'" That's why I'm an only child.

She has never messed up a single take yet. Recently I was in a scene and there was a table covered with a cloth. When the director said cut, I saw a black nose and two paws inching out from under the cloth. She had hidden there without making a sound until we were done with the scene. She wanted to be nearer to me.

If you've been fortunate enough to live out your dream in the profession of your choice, then you have an obligation to send the elevator back down.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.
