Jaws, first time I saw it, I forgot I was in it. True. Totally forgot, and got as scared as everybody else, and it's a great movie.

If I wasn't an actor, I'd be a teacher, a history teacher. After all, teaching is very much like performing. A teacher is an actor, in a way. It takes a great deal to get, and hold, a class.

In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.

I never had a role that I set out for. I always wanted to have a body of work that I'm proud of. Save for two projects, which will never pass my lips, I'm happy with what I've done.

Happiness has a bad rap. People say it shouldn't be your goal in life. Oh, yes it should.

I said to my doctor, 'You gotta testme, there's something wrong with me that I would be behaving this way.'

I didn't understand 3-D in the fifties and I can't say I get it now either. I just don't see what the big deal is.
