I am not an 'instant' actor... to really do anything, I've got to try it five or six or a dozen times.

I'm a born and bred New Yorker. I belong here. Everytime I leave it's like losing a leg.

Acting is a very limited form of expression and those who take it seriously are very limited people. I take it seriously.

In repose, my face looks as though I had gone through a terrible deal in the last five minutes. I have to disguise the expression and get a glassy-eyed look. That's something I learned from my dog.

We were wavering around like a ship without a sail.

I've always loved words. I ate up all the books I could get my hands on, and when I couldn't get books, I read candy wrappers and labels on cereal and toothpaste boxes.

Lovers have a right to betray you... friends don't.
