I do not know who there is among us that can claim to know God's purpose and God's intent.

I know for certain of only one commandment, one obligation, that God imposes upon us, and that is to be compassionate toward other human beings.

I prefer to choose which traditions to keep and which to let go.

You learn more from the flops than from the hits.

I'm exceedingly proud of being an actor, but I never recommend it to anyone.

If I have one vanity wish, it would be to direct. It's the only thing I haven't done yet that I would like to.

I created the role of Captain Von Trapp.

You don't really need modernity in order to exist totally and fully. You need a mixture of modernity and tradition.

Audiences are audiences.

I always sang, I always acted, I always played.
