If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable. [You must] reach the emotional and intellectual level of ability where you can go out stark naked, emotionally, in front of an audience.

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

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

I think whatever you do, if you are going to do well or even if you don't do it well, you have to have a passion for it, and I am passionate about it. I love it. I respect it and it gets me. I get off on acting.

Success is always somebody else's opinion of you; but it doesn't amount to a damn compared to your own opinion of yourself.

Dying is not a sin. Not living is.
