Working on stage is really a great voice developer.

I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving.

But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.

I go on vacation strictly to relax - to kick back with a good book and do nothing else but read, sleep and eat.

It's seldom that you get to work with one director more than once. I've worked with Clint Eastwood three times, but that's the only one that's happened with, simply because I adore his work.

You can't take credit for talent; you can only take credit for using it.

I have four children and nine grandchildren. I'm presently wearing out my second wife.
