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 believe in the theater; I believe in it as the first glamorizer of thought. It restores dramatic dynamics and their relations to life size.

We have all, at one time or another, been performers, and many of us still are - politicians, playboys, cardinals and kings.

Scratch an actor and you'll find an actor.

Don't waste your time striving for perfection; instead, strive for excellence - doing your best.

Without acting, I cannot breathe.

If he was lost for a moment, he would dive straight back into its honey.
