I'm too old to be governed by fear of dumb people.

I don't like driving much.

I think people have some control over what they want; there's a relationship - maybe not automatic - between what you want and get.

If there's any business that instructs you in the strong hand of fate, it's show business. You can plan and plan, but it's what happens to you that really determines what your career will be like.

I came to New York in 1962 and it began to look like I might he able to make a living in 1972.

That's where I'd like to be: when the business says here's a good actor who is marketable so we can use him. Just that.
