I learned about life before I went into the theater, which is why I've been so happy. I was a soldier.

I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.

I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.

I don't have to work. I suppose I should retire. But I enjoy working.

First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.

I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.

I don't meet stockbrokers or carpenters or coal miners; I spend all day with actors, composers and photographers.
