As an actor, I think you should always disappear a little. I act in order to lose myself.

I know certain actors who have done very well. They are still down to earth.

Most actors have been fired during their career.

I think every actor should go back and do theater periodically.

I mean, you know, actors lives - you're forgotten. Look at Barrymore, and look at all the great actors. They're forgotten after awhile.

There is probably some great acting that goes on in movies from people who have never been on a stage, but if you are in for the long haul, you'd be missing an enormous part of what being an actor is if you're not part of theater.

Actors don't, in fact, retire, do they? It took me a while to remember that.

Actors never retire, they just get less and less work.

I don't think actors ever retire, they just stop being asked to work.

I was a failed actor, but for 25 years, I got to go on stage anyway, and I loved it. I've still got the day job, and the travel bug.
