I think I'm damn lucky. I'm lucky that my kids are all straight, that they haven't ended up in jail, that they're all worthwhile human beings, thank God. Their lives are happy; they have happy partners, wives, husbands.

If there was one thing I had never been, it was mysterious, and if there was one thing I had never done, it was not talk.

Acting is a life of rejection.

If you want me just whistle. You know how to whistle don't you? Just put your lips together and blow.

I find that through the sad times, work is what made my continuing, not breaking down, possible. In work, I was always someone else and I subconsciously reveled in that.

When everything happens to you when you're so young, you're very lucky, but by the same token, you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.

They think actors are freaks - that we're a lot of drunks who party all the time and never work. Well, I for one work my tail off.
