When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard.

I'd seen my father. He was a poor man, and I watched him do astonishing things.

If the image one holds of one's self contains elements that don't square with reality, one is best advised to let go of them, however difficult that may be.

I think the way I want to think. I live the way I want to live.

I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.

I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month.

I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.
