“We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.”

“I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.”

“My life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams.”

“I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.”

“Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.”

“I came here in 1974 to do a play, and then I went to L.A. I really like living in America. I feel more at home here than anywhere else.”

“In the theatre, people talk. Talk, talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can't stand it.”

“I've got a great sense of humor.”

“I love life because what more is there?”

“Well, everyone likes movies when they're a little kid.”

“I've been composing music all my life and if I'd been clever enough at school I would like to have gone to music college.”

“We all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we're atheist.”

“I'm married. My wife, Stella - a beautiful woman. She's brought a lot of peace to my life, a lot of wisdom.”
