Forgiveness liberates the soul, it removes fear.

Never let pride be your guiding principle. Let your accomplishments speak for you.

My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it.

And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.

I got my first job as a card-carrying actor in New York in 1967. Before that, I was a very desperate wannabe.

"You are the actor, and I understand we already had our sit down, you explained your concept, your view," so I said, "Okay, I'm in your hands." That means that if you've got to nudge me a little bit to the right I move to the right, just from the pressure, weight, but you won't have to touch me at all. You can come and go "Okay, you want me over here a little bit more," so no pressure on us at all that's easy to do.

If you sat down and you wrote a script, you may write something that's way beyond what you've ever seen me do, but if you thought of me to do it, I would be flattered to be asked to do something other than be wise.
