I Tell My Children To Avoid Theatre

I Do Not Choose To Be A Common Man…it Is My Right To Be Uncommon—if I Can…i Seek Opportunity—not Security…i Want To Take The Calculated Risk; To Dream And To Build, To Fail And To Succeed… To Refuse To Barter Incentive For A Dole… I Prefer The Challenges Of Life To The Guaranteed Existence, The Thrill Of Fulfillment To The Stale Calm Of Utopias….

It Is Time For Me To Chuck In The Sponge. To Retire From Films And Stage. The Heart For It Has Gone Out Of Me: It Won't Come Back.

My Professional Acting Life, Stage And Screen, Has Brought Me Public Support, Emotional Fulfillment And Material Comfort. It Has Brought Me Together With Fine People, Good Companions With Whom I've Shared The Inevitable Lot Of All Actors: Flops And Hits.

If Man Ever Comes To Perfect Equilibrium With The Environment, We'll All Be Redundant, Perhaps Because You Won't Need Art Or Letters.

Pope Paul Iii Was The Greatest Thief In The History Of The Church.
