I'm 83 And A Half Years Old

I Love The Theater. I Love The Rehearsals. That's Where You Build A Performance. That's Your Foundation. If You're Gonna Build A House, You Start With The Foundation. That Makes The House Strong. That's The Way I Build A Character, From The Foundation Out.

Acting Became My Best Friend. When I Auditioned To Get Into College, The Teacher Said You Belong Here, Mr. Klugman, And To Hear That Word Belong - I Never Belonged Anywhere Before - And Suddenly I Belonged In Acting And It Was So Comfortable And I Loved It.

Some Days When I Start To Talk, My Voice Isnt Strong. But Then It Warms Up.

I Was At The Pinnacle Of My Career One Day And The Next Day I Was Put Out To Pasture. I Felt Like A Race Horse With A Broken Leg.

Walter Matthau Made All The Big Money And He Was Wonderful As Oscar Madison On The Stage. You Couldn't Beat Him. I Know Because I Replaced Him On Broadway. He Was Just Delightful.
