Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug.

It's very interesting, I had an extremely intense experience with my dad in 2002, when he was an old man and very ill and I was taking care of him and my mother, and he was extremely depressed, virtually lost the will to live, and I realized my main job was cheering him up to save his life.

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."

Shakespeare is like mother's milk to me.

I find I have to walk a little faster in public these days, but it's very easy to remember when nobody had any idea who I was.

The most exciting acting tends to happen in roles you never thought you could play.

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