I try not to kid myself. You know, I don't mind romancing someone else, but to fool yourself is pretty devastating and dangerous.

You can only see in someone else what you see in yourself.

Absence is absence, you know? The loss of someone can be just as devastating if they're alive as if they're dead.

I was in the game for love. After all, where else can an old-timer with one leg, who can't hear or see, live like a king while doing the only thing I wanted to do?

What can I do, I asked myself, that is so spectacular that no one will be able to say he had seen it before? The answer was perfectly obvious. I would send a midget up to bat.

As an actor, you are either emulating someone else, or some version of yourself.
