#Quote
1[from a 1991 interview] I don't like my work in films. The parts aren't very good and I need a good part. I can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and I don't like playing small parts. It's all so fragmented and you have no control. Everything out there is a business.
2After "Hamlet", nothing scares you.
3[Theater] is like being in a velvet jail. It's nice to have the play and the success, but you can't do anything or go anywhere. I don't like to be in plays for long runs.
4I was an only child, and probably very lonely so I made up children to play with - Gene and Bounds and Mrs. Pig and Mrs. Hog and their children and a town called Scottina. It was all a child's fantasy, but I guess that just kind of developed into wanting to create people.
5[on his role as Tobias in Edward Albee's play "A Delicate Balance"] Fear is a universal motivator . . . I think the only time I really get mean or angry or contentious is when I'm frightened.
6[explaining how, during rehearsals for the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", he never realized it would be such a big hit] Then it was like wildfire - the reaction from people and the crowds clamoring to get in. It was startling. "Virginia Woolf" was such a brilliant play on so many levels. It made people's minds go wild.
