I Was Born A Character Actor.

Of Course, I'm Not Often The Top Dog, But Sometimes It's Better Not To Be Top Dog, Because You Last Longer. If A Movie Or Play Flops, You Always Blame The Lead. They Say, 'he Couldn't Carry It.' They Always Blame Him. But They Rarely Blame The Second Or Third Banana.

You're Out There On A High Wire Without A Net, And That's The Way Actors Operate. They Have To Be Fearless About How They Work And They Have To Create A Life For The Audience In 90 Minutes And Make Them Believe.

I Think I've Done 200 Plays And 125 Movies, So I've Been Very Lucky To Have Made A Living At Acting.

If I Had My Druthers, I Would Do Only Stage Work.

There's No Nobility With War. It's Tear-'em-up Destruction That Leaves You Frustrated, Bitter And Angry... If You Really Knew What It Was Like For An Hour, You Wouldn't Want Anyone To Go Through It.
