Ive read an awful lot of books, Ive read alot of awful books

I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I have enough money not to do pictures ever. I'm seventy years old. I don't want to get up at 6:30 in the morning and learn ten pages of dialogue to do with a bunch of creeps I don't like. It's gotta be fun for me.

There is no point in competing with young talent...I just concentrate on getting better each day.

I enjoy making people laugh. The trick is to tell them jokes against yourself. If you praise yourself, your stories aren't funny.

You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.

You're your first best audience, long before anybody else hears you. So don't be an easy audience. Keep asking for more.
