I act for the reality, for the moment, and most of all I do it for the process.

Theater to me is acting but it's more real on film.

The thing with being on a series that runs that long is that the writers run out of things to do.

I was in a Paris for four or five days and I couldn't believe the reaction I got there. It was just bizarre; people recognizing me left and right.

I remember the actor Dale Robertson said he quit acting when he got tired of having to hold his stomach in. I feel that way sometimes.

And I had a lot to play, which is what you want as an actor.

I can't really recall the first time I was noticed by a producer but the first time I was on television was doing Daytime for Another World, which I started in December '75 and went until December '76.
