incredible proud
It's an incredible experience. I am so proud and so honored.

Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides.

My daughter used to sit and watch Murder, She Wrote. I tried to watch with her, but I fell asleep.
never-regret turned-down
I never regretted what I turned down.
theater
The theater is magical and addictive.
careers years wonderful
I'd been out of the movies for years, I had had a wonderful stage career, yes, in musicals and so on, but you don't really make any money in the theater.
unique years play
I haven't been back to London for 40 years to do a play, so to play Madame Arcati there, she would be tickled to death knowing that that was what I was doing. I hope she would. She was a wonderfully unique and very special, very darling woman.
training maids instance
When I opened up in "Gaslight," for instance, playing that narky maid, that all came about from my experience and my training up to that point, and so nothing was wasted.
sublime roles care
I don't care whether it's a chance meeting or playing a role that you thought was totally wrong but you did it anyway. It will often turn out to be the thing that will lead you to the role which is sublime.
rehearsal pages collaboration
The collaboration really begins once the rehearsal starts. This is when the actor takes his place, because he becomes the one who is going to bring the words of the author off the page.
