I play one role until I take on another, which is exactly what a professional actor should do.

Learning a play is one thing, but to learn to play Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' without music: that's brilliant.

You can either grow old gracefully or begrudgingly. I chose both.

Maybe come to think about it, that is the sign of an extrovert, in any event I have always from the earliest of ages found it difficult to wander into a restaurant on my own.

I once drove a pair of horses from New York to Vicksburg, and to this day I can almost map out that country as I saw it then, with its hills and valleys, villages and rivers. Yes, I naturally attribute something of my success in railroad building to the interest I take in such things.

You really have to work hard and apply yourself and by applying yourself and working hard and being diligent, you can achieve success.

To me, success is seeing that justice is done.
