No one asked me to be an actor, so no one owed me. There was no entitlement.

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.

More and more, when I single out the person out who inspired me most, I go back to my grandfather.

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.

Reading was a big thing, yes. Books were a big thing. But the things that stick out were the newspapers.

Just so you know, there's a space that only you can fill. Just so you know, I loved you then, I guess I always will.

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.
