• I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried — tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.

• I've repeatedly said that for people as little in common as Joanne and myself, we have an uncommonly good marriage. We are actors, we make pictures — and that's about all we have in common. Maybe that's enough. Wives shouldn't feel obligated to accompany their husbands to a ball game, husbands do look a bit silly attending morning coffee breaks with the neighbourhood wives when most men are out at work. Husbands and wives should have separate interests, cultivate different sets of friends — and not impose one upon the other.

• I was terrorized by the emotional requirements of being an actor. Acting is like letting your pants down; you're exposed.

• I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion. I was running away from the sporting goods business.

• Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experiences.

• I was always a character actor. I just looked like Little Red Riding Hood.
