My grandmother had the most dramatic effect on my life because she set me in one direction, and I had to go back the other direction for my sanity, and for my ability to be a social human being.

Love was just a word to me. Until you came along and gave it meaning.

Trying to make someone fall in love with you is about as pointless as trying to control who you fall in love with.

Actors never discuss future plans.

You weren't going to the theatre to change the world, but you had a chance to affect the world, the thinking and the feelings of the world.

When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.

It has to be real, and I think a lot of the problems we have as a society is because we don’t acknowledge that family is important and it has to be people who are present, you know and mothers and fathers, both are not present enough with children.
