Speech is a very important aspect of being human. A whisper doesn't cut it.

My youngest uncle Randy and I were the first members of our entire family to ever go to college.

Even during the rationing period, during World War II, we didn't have the anxiety that we'd starve, because we grew our own potatoes, you know? And our own hogs, and our own cows and stuff, you know.

The goal wasn't to be a millionaire or to be a Hollywood star. That was not the goal. The goal was something about - the goal was to find the goal, but I knew where it was.

I found my voice in books.

A man's got to take care of his family. You live in my house, you sleep your behind on my bedclothes, you put my food in your belly because you are my son; you are my flesh and blood, not because I like you. It is my duty to take care of you. I owe a responsibility to you.

I was as content Off-Broadway as I was in a big Hollywood movie, and, I just try to be content wherever I am, you know.
