I can't count how many of my friends are in the cemetery at Normandy, the heroes are still there, the real heroes.

If I had my druthers, I would do only stage work.

There's no nobility with war. It's tear-'em-up destruction that leaves you frustrated, bitter and angry... If you really knew what it was like for an hour, you wouldn't want anyone to go through it.

You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.

That place that no one knows about - horrifying things we keep secret. A lot of that is released through acting.

Of course, I'm not often the top dog, but sometimes it's better not to be top dog, because you last longer. If a movie or play flops, you always blame the lead. They say, 'He couldn't carry it.' They always blame him. But they rarely blame the second or third banana.

I'd like to have a decade of my life back. I dropped into a void for almost a decade.

I never turned down anything and never argued with any producer or director.

I think I've done 200 plays and 125 movies, so I've been very lucky to have made a living at acting.
