Even with my wife, I find sharing soup is hard.

I have been vain since birth. I expected other people to like what I did, although my vanity has definitely diminished over the years.

From being a writer of plays, it was not that surprising that somebody thought of giving me a job as an actor. After I played one part, others came along.

If my relation to each and every peasant in Cambodia is indeed exactly what the principles of morality would demand it to be, it's a miraculous coincidence, because it takes a lot of effort to behave correctly in regard to my friends, and from one end of the year to another I never give those peasants a single thought.

The life of an actor can be very enviable.

You know, I haven't written as much as most other writers. Certainly maybe those who keep a more regular schedule accomplish more.

I started writing plays in around 1967, and at a certain point, I thought, 'I'm writing plays, I should learn about acting and what it is.' So I went to the HB Studio in New York, and I was there for about nine months.
