In Stratford you either turn into an alcoholic or you better write.

I want to paint Montreal as a rather fantastic city, which it was, because nobody knows today what it was like. And I'm one of the last survivors, or rapidly becoming one.

The part of Mike Wallace drew me to the movie because I thought, what an outrageous part to play.

I'm too old-fashioned to use a computer. I'm too old-fashioned to use a quill.

Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.

In Stratford you either turn into an alcoholic or you better write.

It is a culture voice, but it is a very American culture voice, and I am very used to English culture voice. So I had to work like hell to flatten those R's.

Here is Mike Wallace, who is visible to the public, and I have been watching him since the early '50s. Smoking up a storm and insulting his guests and being absolutely wonderfully evil and charming too.

I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.

They realized I was alive again, even though I was playing an old, dying sop.

I couldn't believe when I first got a fan letter from Al Pacino, it was unreal.

The first time my father saw me in the flesh was on the stage, which is a bit weird. We went out to dinner, and he was charming and sweet, but I did all the talking.

Working with Julie Andrews is like getting hit over the head with a valentine.

Anything that exists on the human palette is, from my point of view, fair game for artists to portray. You don't have to go see it if you don't want to, so don't go.

Encouragement of higher education for our youth is critical to the success of our collective future.

My work is through my emotions, so everything kind of goes together.

I don't love football the way I once loved the game. I don't look at it as fun anymore, and it definitely used to be fun. A lot of the fun has been taken away from it, I guess, because you go through so much on the field and off the field.

The beauty of democracy is that an average, random, unremarkable citizen can lead it.

The books I used to love as a kid, I used to read football books - and by that I mean soccer books - stories about boys in school who started to play football and then became the captain. I'd read them cover to cover. I just got lost in them.

Reducing our dependence on foreign energy - that is critically important to America's economic future. Excellence in education - if we're not the best educated, we're not going to be the most powerful for very long.

I'm trying to set up opportunities for myself so that I don't only have one outlet to go through and rely upon as far as a support system financially, emotionally and mentally.

I would be with those who say the hierarchy in the United States has badly mishandled this whole situation.

I started acting pretty young, so I haven't had too many odd jobs. But I used to sell candy out of my locker in middle school.

When looking at trends I always ask myself basic and timeless questions about business, and the one I seem to always come back to is, 'How is this different than anything else in the marketplace?'

I write and write and write, and then I edit it down to the parts that I think are amusing, or that help the storyline, or I'll write a notebook full of ideas of anecdotes or story points, and then I'll try and arrange them in a way that they would tell a semi-cohesive story.

I find it unusual that it is more socially acceptable to complain about what you have than it is to ask for what you want.

The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

I am open and will continue to be open to ways to limit abortion. What I am not open to is to removing the right.

The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around.

I was 26 when I went to my first acting class. I'm naturally quite shy. I'm a quite private person. There's this really strange acting class in New York called Black Nexxus. For someone who's slightly shy or self-conscious, it's the most frightening thing you can do.

The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
