No one will ever argue that someone could have played Helen Keller better than Patty Duke. It was an incredibly demanding role and I don't think anyone can argue that it was a false performance.

Being an actor myself I realize that all actors believe they are qualified to play any role. If you showed me a script with a black woman character I would tell you that I could do it. That is what we do. We act as if we are someone else.

I wouldn't argue that anyone living can play the trumpet better than Wynton Marsalis.

I actually think I play better now than I've ever played.

I played that role in Dallas for many years. Hopefully I can do the same thing here that I did there.
