Some Days When I Start To Talk,

Suddenly It Was Gone. I'd Lost More Than My Voice And My Career. I'd Lost My Best Friend.

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.

There Was No Sacrifice In Acting For Me, Even When I Was Starving In New York. I Went Three Days Without Eating. Charlie Bronson And I Sold Blood For $5 So That We Could Eat.

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.

The Only Tool We Have As Artists Is Selectivity. If You're A Painter, You Select The Color, The Lines, How Severe They Should Be. As An Actor You Develop How Angry You Should Be. You Select How Angry You Should Be. You Listen To The Other Actor And Then You React. In Film, Sometimes The Other Actor Isn't Even There. You Have To Play The Scene. What I Do Is I Call On My Experience On The Stage. I Play The Scene And I Hope That I Reach A Certain Level Of Integrity Because That's What I Learned On The Stage.
