All the scientists who are working on solving the problem of curing paralysis say that it won’t do you any good if you don’t keep your body in shape Picture Quote #1

I never said I will stand, I said I hoped to stand. It wasn’t a prediction Picture Quote #1

It’s defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it’s hard to resist considering what might have been Picture Quote #1

It never occurred to me that I was a leading man until I was 19 years old. I had been acting since I was 10, so that’s nine years and 30 or 40 plays, in school and summer stock, professional theater, too Picture Quote #1

And if you can channel the truth of your own experience onto the stage, that’s what the audience wants to see Picture Quote #1

I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. As a result, I am ready to take up again the characters who are closer to what I really am Picture Quote #1

I have no bones to pick and no fight with society. And I’m willing to be and interested in being in the mainstream of society Picture Quote #1

I don’t think actors are to blame for poor writing. The culture changes first, and the theater follows it. In the case of the movies, it’s the same thing Picture Quote #1

In the second half of the 20th century, people are becoming more limited: Vocabularies are smaller, thoughts are smaller, aspirations are smaller, everything is very scaled down. Everyone is typecast Picture Quote #1

There is a relationship between the mind and the body that can both create a physical condition and enable us to recover from it Picture Quote #1

I’m not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter Picture Quote #1
