When I was in New York after I left the Army, I studied for two years at the American Theater Wing, studied acting, which involved dance and fencing and speech classes and history of theater, all that.

I was an adopted child of my grandparents, and I don’t know how I can ever express my gratitude for that because my parents would have been a mess.

I do not know if it is true that all actors want to direct and all directors want to act, but in 1972 I tried directing and decided I had better stick to acting.

Don't you try and go through life worried if someone had liked you or not. You best make sure that they are doing right by you.

If you expect someone else to guide you, you'll be lost.

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

Actors never discuss future plans.
