Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way.

A closet full of wire hangers can be the most dangerous place in the world.

A room is like a stage. If you see it without lighting, it can be the coldest place in the world.

My kitchen is not a place to live in. I made it white so I can tell instantly if it's not clean-and I like it clean enough to be able to eat off the floors-or the tables, for that matter.

I'm Liberace without a piano.

I was obsessed with being rich and famous.

An actor shouldn't undergo psychoanalysis, because there are a lot of things you're better off not knowing.

I laughed all the way through Love Story.

It was the worst moment of my life. The producer came up and talked me back into going on stage.

The whole romantic part of my life was a wipeout. I didn't even own a belt.
