My circle of friends are not actors at all. None of them are actors, really, because they're are not available. They're always off somewhere.

Movie actors earn their living and learn their craft through listening and reacting.

My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.

My career is going better now than when I was younger. Now I get the part. Back then, I'd get the girl.

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

You can write shorthand and still look at the guy you're talking to.

I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
