Almost everything I learned about being an actor came from those early years at the Actor's Studio.

Twenty-five years ago I couldn`t walk down the street without being recognized. Now I can put a cap on, walk anywhere and no one pays me any attention. They don`t ask me about my movies and they don`t ask me about my salad dressing because they don`t know who I am. Am I happy about this? You bet.

I want to acknowledge luck, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others.

People like to do what they used to do after they've stopped being able to do it.

The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.

I have taken roads that I wished I had not traveled on. And I'm traveling on some pretty exciting ones, too. Just hope when you get to that great racetrack in the sky, that the balance will tip slightly into those things that you'd be proud of.
