Acting provides the fulfillment of never being fulfilled. You're never as good as you'd like to be. So there's always something to hope for.

I will end up with someone in the arts. I am positive. I eat breathe and sleep acting. And I'll end up with someone who is happy staying at home and having me cook supper. But I also really need to be intellectually challenged and stimulated. I want someone bookish and someone who is passionate.

Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines the empty space between those lines which is interesting.

I hit the ground running without a lot of training so I had to do whatever I could do to survive as a professional and if that meant being that character 24/7 and acting out I was going to do that. I lived those characters I brought them home with me.

It's like kids playing house: 'You play the father I'll play the mother.' You know you dress up you play they pay you go home. It's a game - acting's a game.

Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.

When I arrived at Columbia I gave up acting and became interested in all things French. French poetry French history French literature.

I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses psychology courses history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.

I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.

In civilized life where the happiness and indeed almost the existence of man depends on the opinion of his fellow men. He is constantly acting a studied part.
