The Secret Service is a strange group. They don't really have a leader. It's not set up like a military. Each one is supposed to be able to act like a leader when something comes up.

Gregory Peck was so charismatic. I saw a woman fall down - fall down! - when she saw him in a restaurant. And Brando. We were in London, and by then he was about 380 pounds. There was a gorgeous waitress, and off he went, in direct competition with me for this young girl's attention, speaking French, making her blush.

There was no one around called 'Val' when I was young, so I wanted to be John or Bill. Now I like it.

The audience and I have an intimacy that is, I believe, rare, most times out.

I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.

News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.

Hollywood is wonderful, but it does eat its young.
