The part of Mike Wallace drew me to the movie because I thought, what an outrageous part to play.

I couldn’t believe when I first got a fan letter from Al Pacino, it was unreal.

They realized I was alive again, even though I was playing an old, dying sop.

I’m too old-fashioned to use a computer. I’m too old-fashioned to use a quill.

Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.

Working with Julie Andrews is like getting hit over the head with a valentine.

To me, the greatest thing about acting is that I can pretend to be someone else.

I want to paint Montreal as a rather fantastic city, which it was, because nobody knows today what it was like. And I’m one of the last survivors, or rapidly becoming one.

In Stratford you either turn into an alcoholic or you better write.

I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.
