I bought the book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I paid to have it made into a play and I played in it for six months. I came back and I tried to make it into a movie, without success.

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

I have one computer that my wife gave me. All I know how to do, and I do it every day, is play Spider Solitaire. And I don't have a cell phone.

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.

The only advantage I have found in being Jewish is that I can be openly anti-Semitic.

Acting is a youthful profession.
