It was the early 1970s and I was recently divorced. I had three kids and was totally broke. I managed to find work back east on the straw-hat circuit - summer stock - but couldn't afford hotels, so I lived out of the back of my truck, under a hard shell.

Here's something pompous - you take your day and artistically create it, so every moment has an artistic flavor.

My plan has always been to return to Broadway every 50 years.

Spencer Tracy was a man who did very much what I do on a set, and that is, he comes down and he does his job, and then he goes back to his dressing room.

All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.

Although I'm a business major out of McGill University, I know nothing... but then I found out much later in life, nobody knows anything.

Don't be afraid of making an ass of yourself. I do it all the time and look what I got.
