Hollywood always had a streak of the totalitarian in just about everything it did. The old moguls were essentially hard-fisted authoritarians who had created a system of linked dictatorships to control the creative people. We were supposed to be the children; mad, tempestuous, brilliant, talented, not terribly smart children.

I think male actors get confused by their own vanity.

I don't know why anybody would be in awe of me.

You know, I have never had a casting couch proposition in my life. I thought there was something wrong with me.

I have a lot of friends who are around. I'm having a wonderful time in my life now with my platonic relationships with men and women, because when that sexual tension is off the requirement of the interplay, then you get to who the people really are, and to yourself.

Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.

The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into.
