If I Had My Druthers,

I Never Turned Down Anything And Never Argued With Any Producer Or Director.

Sometimes You Succeed And Sometimes You Don't.

I Was Born A Character Actor.

Acting Is Ephemeral. You Can't Hang It On A Wall. You Can't Throw It Off. And You Can't Bring It Out Of A Closet. It's There One Night And It's Gone The Next, At Least With Stage Acting Anyhow.

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.
