You know, working as an actor, I'm always working within my own imagination.

Well I don't write, I attempt to scribble here and there. And no, nothing ever so grand as being published.

The Emmy will have no effect on me, from the standpoint that you've still got to wash your bowl after breakfast.

In the theatre, the actor is given immediate feedback.

Am I 53 or 54? I think I'm 54. I was born in 1941. So this year I'll be 55.

I was born in Middlesex, England, which is really London.

In film and television we are oftentimes so pampered that the truths are withheld.

I indeed had only one scene, one speech, one little speech, but it was with Robin Williams.

An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.

He who excuses himself accuses himself. (Qui s'excuse s'accuse.)

You can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you can't have both.

Every gift, though it be small, is in reality great if given with affection.

It is not that pearls fetch a high price because men have dived for them; but on the contrary, men have dived for them because they fetch a high price.

Back in high school I told my dad, "I'm going to have a computer someday." And he said that it cost as much as a house-the downpayment on a house. And I said, "Well, I'll live in an apartment."

I am sure that, after all, any man in my place should set a positive example for other people.
