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

I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. 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.

It's sort of well-known that anytime any catastrophe happens anywhere in the world, they can count on the United States for help.

Give me something interesting to play and I'm happy.

I was told that I was good in my dance movement classes and that I should concentrate on dance because it would enhance my ability to get acting work.

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.
