You must have - besides intuition and sensitivity - a cutting edge that allows you to reach what you need. Also, you have to know life - bastards included - and it takes a bit of one to know one, don't you think?

We ape, we mimic, we mock. We act.

My stage successes have provided me with the greatest moments outside myself, my film successes the best moments, professionally, within myself.

I'd like people to remember me for a diligent expert workman. I think a poet is a workman. I think Shakespeare was a workman. And God's a workman. I don't think there's anything better than a workman.

I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.

I often think that could we creep behind the actor's eyes, we would find an attic of forgotten toys and a copy of the Domesday Book.
