A man with no enemies is a man with no character. — Paul Newman

"I was always a character actor. I just looked like Little Red Riding Hood."

"Acting is a question of absorbing other peoples personalities and adding some of your own experiences."

"Id like to be remembered as a guy who tried — tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isnt complacent, who doesnt cop out."

"I was terrorized by the emotional requirements of being an actor. Acting is like letting your pants down; youre exposed."

"Ive repeatedly said that for people as little in common as Joanne and myself, we have an uncommonly good marriage. We are actors, we make pictures — and thats about all we have in common. Maybe thats enough. Wives shouldnt feel obligated to accompany their husbands to a ball game, husbands do look a bit silly attending morning coffee breaks with the neighbourhood wives when most men are out at work. Husbands and wives should have separate interests, cultivate different sets of friends — and not impose one upon the other."

"Ive been accused of being aloof. Im not. Im just wary."
