There is less in this than meets the eye.

I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, 'I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.'

I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.

I have been tight as a tick! Fried as a mink! Stiff as a goat!

Don't be taken in by the guff that critics are killing the theater. Commonly they sin on the side of enthusiasm. Too often they give their blessing to trash.

All my life I've been terrible at remembering people's names. I once introduced a friend of mine as Martini. Her name was actually Olive.

I detest acting because it is sheer drudgery.
