To me, the theatre - I don't like to say it, but I'll say it - is a temple in a kind of way, where human beings go to be elevated.

You have a lot of friends who love you dearly and you don't know who they are.

Stardom can be very destructive - particularly if you believe in it.

I'm not overweight. I'm just nine inches too short.

Acting is the developing of one's own personality, too, you know. That's what the public buys in a star, shall we say, the personality thing.

Now that I'm over sixty, I'm veering toward respectability.

Security is when I'm very much in love with somebody extraordinary who loves me back.
