I'm hardly a saint.

There is no right in acting.

You can only lead by example.

Intelligence is enormously sexy.

My body of work means nothing to me

Getting old is not for sissies, kid.

It's a living, breathing thing, acting.

I'm a firm believer in absolute honesty.

All of our health is basically genetics.

The last few years have been pretty hectic.

Physical qualities don't really matter much.

I always choose to do the thing that scares me.

As a matter of fact, I rarely ever play myself.

I'd always felt a man should marry later in life.

I'm hardly disinterested totally in my appearance

I'm hardly disinterested totally in my appearance.

Absolutely. I can produce. I can write. I can direct.

One of the safest places to be in the world is the stage.

The only thing you have then to believe in is your craft.

I watch actors destroy themselves by trying to get it right.

You start acting in spite of your neuroses, not because of them.

A five-year-old Chinese girl knows more about football than I do.

There are no taboos in bed, and there shouldn't be any taboos in bed.

But when I was seven or eight, I did my first little piece of acting.

However, I don't by any means suggest that I'm always playing myself.

Then, for a hot three or four weeks I wanted to be a concert pianist.

I grew up in a household where everybody lived at the top of his lungs.

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

We do most of what we do out of our sexual energy and our sexual needs.

Where you are is where it's at.... Don't ever give up & don't ever give in.

I would rather spend one night with Dracula dead than with my husband alive.

I now want to be playing parts more interesting to me and more exciting to me.

If you're lucky as you get older, you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.

I have a list a mile long of faults that sometimes bring me to my knees in self-hatred.

It's also easy to fall back into what's familiar, what feels safe, what you've done before.

But I firmly believe that you can't be emotionally free until you are emotionally committed.

I always signed autographs when I could and always stayed and chatted with them when I could.

The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love

But in order to be the thing you want to be, you have to work like a dog at the thing you love.

The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love.

I had to face within myself all the things I didn't do and wasn't while I was wearing my own crown.

Each of us needs something - food, liquor, pot, whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.

I have always felt the basis of everything in life is sexual, and I will maintain that to my dying day

But I think one of the reasons I tend to stay in the water most of the time is I distrust the comfort.

I have always felt the basis of everything in life is sexual, and I will maintain that to my dying day.

Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself

Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself.

It's my job to try to communicate with as little showiness as possible. I was a really showy actor as a young man.

When asked what it takes to succeed in the acting profession, Bette Davis would answer, "The courage to be hated."

What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.
