“I don't think there are roles that would attract me to do a long run in the theatre.”

“That's the extraordinary thing about opera: it has the power to elicit a physical reaction. I don't know if I'd have been any good or not, but I do know that I was never committed enough to find out.”

“Opera requires an enormous commitment. You must devote your whole life to producing that extraordinary sound.”

“I don't think there has been any increase in sophistication in the audience. When people are aware of a concept that's easy to understand, and there's an actor who will attract them to the theater and it's a movie that's funny three-quarters of the time, it will be successful.”

“I don't like other actors much. The industry tends to attract insecure, needy people.”

“I always write about subjects which attract me because if I didn't, it would be awful, a failure.”
