When you look at me you don’t immediately imagine a very very glamorous icon, so it’s only in the theater that I get to do these experiments. I’ve been an actor about 51 years now.

When I work in the theater, you know you’ll get this almost devotional, religious experience where you’re breaking bread with everyone every day Picture Quote #1
