Dancing came easy for me. Acting came hard.

I would rather do a play because it's instantaneous. You go on the stage, and you know whether it's happening or not. Somebody asked me 'What is acting?' And I said, 'Acting is listening.' And if you ain't listening, nobody's listening.

That place that no one knows about - horrifying things we keep secret. A lot of that is released through acting.

I think I've done 200 plays and 125 movies, so I've been very lucky to have made a living at acting.

Acting is ephemeral. You can't hang it on a wall. You can't throw it off. And you can't bring it out of a closet. It's there one night and it's gone the next, at least with stage acting anyhow.

Because of the narration, it's pretty easy to follow. If you miss something through the acting or the dancing, the narration explains it.
