I don't need a critic to tell me I'm an actor. I make my own way. Nobody's my boss. Nobody's ever been my boss.

Why can't a woman be more like a dog, huh? So sweet, loving, attentive.

Now, why is it that most of us can talk openly about the illnesses of our bodies, but when it comes to our brain and illnesses of the mind we clam up and because we clam up, people with emotional disorders feel ashamed, stigmatized, and don't seek the help that can make the difference.

Acting is a youthful profession.

The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.

If I have to speak in public, I am terrified.

I've played some good guys as well, in Spartacus, Paths of Glory and my favorite picture, Lonely Are the Brave, so I had a mixture of parts in my life.
