I would never say, "I'm retired." I believe if I decided to just not work, in six months everybody would just forget whether you were working or not.

I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.

I have never felt brutalized as an actor. Many actors do, some times, but I've never had that experience. If I'm not happy with the balance, I just won't work with that person again.

At 55 I said the probability is I won't have another relationship. I just didn't want to start another family. Between my own bizarre criteria and taste and the fact that I'm not available for many things I thought it was unlikely. Once you know the science about it, I don't think anybody should consider being committed to a real eternal relationship until you're through something called the infatuation circle.

I have mainly been interested in acting. I think it's a great job, a fine way to live your life.

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

OK, the director makes the movie. But some movies can't get made without someone like me in them.
