It was an accident, although I've been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a child - in school, music, athletics. To me, acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves. To my way of thinking, an actor's course is set even before he's out of the cradle.

Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse.

Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.

You are who you are meant to be. Dance as if no one's watching. Love as if it's all you know. Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

My fun days are over.
