If you live in an oppressive society, you've got to be resilient. You can't let each little thing crush you. You have take every encounter and make yourself larger, rather than allow yourself to be diminished by it.

In the wintertime, in the snow country, citrus fruit was so rare, and if you got one, it was better than ambrosia.

I mean, my people were very, very simple. They were peasant people, you know?

The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise, they will win and the decent people will lose.

I consider myself a novice film actor.

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.
