Shakespeare is like mother's milk to me.

We should have charity for what the dead say. We may disapprove of what they say, but we should not insult them and revile them knowing they cannot not defend themselves.

I consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.

I can't get used to the fact that I'm 68 years old. I still feel like a youngster. I am playing a part even older than 68 - 71 years old. It's kind of startling to see myself in a movie and realize, "Yup. That's exactly what I look like."

I'm a con artist in that I'm an actor. I make people believe something is real when they know perfectly well it isn't.

You kill three people, they call you a murderer. You kill a million people, they call you a conqueror. Go figure.

Anyone who hears enough laughter and applause at a young age will become an actor, whether they intend to or not.
