"I love the Broadway audiences, who relish live drama and don't hesitate to display their enthusiasm." — Ian Mckellen

Actors don't, in fact, retire, do they? It took me a while to remember that.

It's my impression that I've done every job that I've been asked to do.

I'm brilliant at cooking my stepmother's scrambled egg recipe. The secret is to put eggs, butter, milk, and seasoning together in the saucepan, and to keep stirring with a wooden spoon under a low heat until the preferred consistency is reached.

I got better as an actor, and still I'm getting better. That's only been possible because there's always been work.
