I Started Writing Plays In Around 1967,

In Terms Of Number Of Movies, I've Been In An Extraordinary Amount. If You Count Only The Minutes I'm Onscreen, It's Not So Long.

After Being In One Movie, It Didn't Seem Like That Would Be My Life. I Had Done Several Jobs, Briefly. I'd Been A Shipping Clerk, I Worked In A Copy Shop, I Didn't Think The Acting Was Going To Go On And On.

For Me, A Play Is A Form Of Writing Which Isn't Complete Until It Is Interpreted By Actors. But It's Still A Form Of Writing. And So Most Of My Time Is Spent Thinking About How To Write A Sentence.

We Are Not What We Seem. We Are More Than What We Seem. The Actor Knows That. And Because The Actor Knows That Hidden Inside Himself There's A Wizard And A King, He Also Knows That When He's Playing Himself In His Daily Life, He's Playing A Part, He's Performing, Just As He's Performing When He Plays A Part On Stage.

Children, I Always Think, Are Just Putting On A Performance Of Being Naive And Not Understanding Anything. I Have Worked With Children In Films, And They're Treated As Adults And They Just Drop The Pretense Of Being Children.
