In the theater, I could envision myself as wonderful because of the audience response to my lines.

If I'm in a serious play, I often think to myself, 'I could make that line funny.'

I knew my own mother had been in the theater for a while and had taught children, because she used to teach me the pieces that she taught them, but she did much more than that.

I can't seem to say, 'You great big wonderful man, you,' without hamming it up somehow.

I've worked with a lot of great, glamorous girls in movies and the theater. They would always give their last ounce to get where they wanted to be.

The thing to do is to build a fortress within yourself.
