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

When you see the right thing to do, you'd better do it.

I'd done some acting in high school. Then I went to Kenyon College and got thrown in jail and kicked off the football team. Since I was determined not to study very much, I majored in theater the last two years. Got my degree in speech; they didn't actually have a degree in theater. I graduated at two o'clock in the afternoon, and at three-thirty I was on the train for Williams Bay, Wisconsin, for summer stock, and then I did winter stock.

I think transitions are never that noticeable, but they are always on their way. It has to do with distance and accessibility. People call it mellowing, but I think it's how available you are toward other people, or how much you distance yourself.

A man without enemies is a man without character.

I will continue to get behind the wheel of a racing car as long as I am able. But that could all end tomorrow.

Make sure you live life, which means don't do things where you court celebrity, and give something positive back to our society.
