You're never too old to be crazy.

Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

Oh, what a shock. My career must be slipping. This is the first time I've been available to pick up an award.

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

I heard my first laughter on stage, when I was about 10 years old. It was gold pantomime and I remember I was playing Baron Fitznoodle, who was the father of the ugly sisters in "Cinderella." And I walked on and got a great big laugh and I thought that was fantastic, until I looked down and found that my flies were open. And so I always check my flies. I even check my flies on radio.

I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.

My most useful acting tip came from my pal John Wayne. Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.
