I wasn't a babe in the woods. I'd watched a lot of stars, from James Dean to Brando, and I'd seen everybody alive work at MGM. I had a certain old-timer's quality, even though I was young and new, and drew on what I believed before I made it.

Staying together is a challenge. We all have to accept qualities in other people that aren't always exactly what we want or need.

The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.

Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.

How would I like to be seen? Very endearing, charming, intelligent, handsome.

I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.

I envy people of faith. I'm incapable of believing in anything supernatural.
