A room is like a stage. If you see it without lighting, it can be the coldest place in the world.

Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way.

I'm used to living alone, and I like it that way. You become so selfish living alone...I'd make a terrible husband anyway.

My dad was a ham, too. He could sell those women anything. Of all his sons, I was the only one he could trust to sell as well as he could. I was proud of that.

I may find something that looks interesting and then go on to alter the recipe by adding spices, things of my own. I also look for time-saving recipes, dishes that can be prepared ahead and stored.

Food was a constant topic of conversation in our household.

I think basically an actor is a salesman.
