What impresses me is the young actors with terrific talent arriving on the scene. They'd have blown us all away in the old days. Guys like Brad Pitt.

I never talk to tabloids.

I was spawned by some pretty good people in this business - Mr. Astaire, Mr. Tracy. They stopped and took their time to talk to people.

I think of Mike Myers as the Buster Keaton of today. I think he's brought us something so special.

I liked working in a series, going to work every day and not having to leave town for long locations. I was producing them and building an audience.

When I can't sleep, I'll start thinking about how many shows I've done, count up the number of television shows and movies.

I had lived a charmed life, and then I lost a beautiful woman I loved with all my heart.

I was in the movies. I danced, I sang, I learned to work in front of a camera. It was like being in a repertory company.

Right now I'm trying to do a fragrance called Natalie. She's very, very much alive for us.

I've learned one important thing about God's gifts - what we do with them is our gift to Him.

One thing that golf teaches you is humility.

Pets have more love and compassion in them than most humans.

I wish there was some way to get the law changed. They can write anything about you after you're deceased and there's nothing you can do about it.

I went to Europe with Spencer Tracy. What a thrill, working with John Ford when I was a kid.

Jill and I arrange our lives to spend a lot of time together. That makes us both happy.

Jimmy Stewart was a very sincere, honest and straightforward man.

In the contract days, the big studios groomed us to play particular roles and we would stay with the image they gave us and insisted on.

It's sensational to be a part of a series that takes on a life of its own.

Rob Lowe, I've known him for a long time because I have three daughters, ya know. He's been cruising those three girls for a long time.

Natalie's estate is handled by Global Icons, and they police the world so her picture isn't on a T-shirt or coffee cup unless we approve of it.

A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad.

Anytime anybody impersonates you, it's a great compliment.

My wife was a Bond girl, in Diamonds Are Forever, so I play James Bond in real life every day.

I love Joan Collins. She's a wonderful lady. She has such courage. She's such a good actress.

A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life things wont be too bad.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

What's fascinating is that when you write a script, it's almost a stream of consciousness. You have an idea that it means something, but you're not always sure what. Then when you get on the set, the actors teach you.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.

I've seen many actors go awry by making the wrong choices early on.

Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.

David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.

I like doing them and they're ridiculous and the actors can improvise a lot, and they don't have to be really realistic characters that hit a very specific tone as in a feature film. They're really fun, I want to make more of them definitely.

I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.

Actors get pigeonholed very quickly, particularly movie actors. In the theater, one is more used to casting people against type and trusting that their talent and skill will get them through.

Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.

I was very pleased you know, and I was afraid that I might stick out, but I didn't. My happiest thing about that picture is that I proved that American actors can speak as well and also fit in with an ensemble like that.

I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.

I feel like I'm the most well-adjusted character on the show, even though I'm sure the other actors would tell you the same thing about their characters.

There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.

I'll miss the relationships I have built with these actors. I'll miss the devotion we have to this work. Over this length of time, the tendency is to think it will never end.

After the war, there was no industry. We lost the war. We had our whole city destroyed. No money. No studio. No film. No camera. No equipment. We would shoot in the street. We had no actors. Nothing. But we wanted to do movies. And we did the best movies in the world.

An actors' tribute to me is in his work.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.

This friend of mine said he was surprised to find that - I don't think it's quite a majority - a bigger percentage of actors are introverts than extroverts. It was a big surprise to him. Now, I know me, and I'll do anything if I'm playing a character. Or anything that's true to the character, anyway. But in real life I'm a little more withdrawn.

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

When on the set of a film, you have to play natural for entire scenes in a very unnatural environment. You have to express emotions and interact with other actors and also use your voice.

If you watch the show and the characters don't look at each other while they're talking, the actors probably aren't getting along.

When I decided I wanted to be an actor, I said I wanted to work with quality actors and directors.
