But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.
I started to repeat to myself "If I'm not where I want to be, it's because I'm not good enough... yet." Which meant it was up to me.
The bad thing about being with an actor is that the role he's in stays with him all the time. The good thing about being with an actor - well, I can't think of any good thing.
I've never had my heart broken. It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their heart broken. I don't think it says anything good about me at all.
I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.
I have never been beautiful in cliche terms.
I mean, the only thing that matters to me is getting to the work - getting to do the work. And I don't really care where it is: whether it's on stage or on television or in film.
The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.
You know, people really don't understand what actors do.
I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.
The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.
There are parts of me that I feel are beautiful, but they don't have anything to do with my nose.
When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said, "Congratulations, you have an actor!"
I did comedies for 10 years and I learned a great deal.
Don't you be afraid, sweetheart. Death is just a part of life, something we're all destined to do.
People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?
I would take plays and I would cut out all the other dialogue and make long monologues because I felt the other kids weren't taking it as seriously as I did.
I've never had my heart broken.
My last son is leaving to go to college; my grandchildren are being born. My mother is living with me.
I certainly have a very colorful nature, filled with great highs and great lows... in my early adulthood I probably was grappling with some serious depression issues.
Last year I was diagnosed with osteoporosis.
We just fight our way through it. But you can't just get up and walk out without repeating the behavior over and over.
Western Costume, and the old Universal wardrobe that is huge and they're getting rid of so much of it now, which is sad.
I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
