There is always a type of man who says he loves his fellow men, and expects to make a living at it.

The way I look at it, I'm a guy who acts to live.

I'm a very lucky girl who gets to act for a living! So why sit around griping and grousing about what's not there.

I am very fortunate to have a career. I always have to act. I don't know if I'll have a career to support it for the rest of my life, but I know I'll always act.

Basically, though, I'm just lucky to love what I do for a living.

Why, except as a means of livelihood, a man should desire to act on the stage when he has the whole world to act in, is not clear to me.

Working gets in the way of living.

All work is noble; the only ignoble thing is to live without working. There is need to realize the value of work in all its forms whether manual or intellectual, to be called 'mate,' to have sympathetic understanding of all forms of activity.

I don't find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I'm not saving anybody's life, I'm not a teacher, I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.

One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people's lives without having to pay the price.
