Self-reflection
I feel like Ive been the same person since I turned 50.
I do think Im calmer and less aggressively ambitious.
And I feel like a survivor.
The joy of being evil
Playing villains iskind of like Halloween night.
There is a real thrill in scaring the daylights out of people.
Ive done film scenes that were absolutely hair-raising.
First impressions
We moved around a lot when I was growing up.
I was always the new kid in class, but I was good at making friends.
With an upbringing like that, I was either going to become an actor or a politician.
Thank God I became an actor!
Im not cut out for politics.
That was you?
Coretta Scott was our babysitter when I was very young.
I saw her later, in 1974, when I did a silly Broadway comedy.
She reminded me that shed been my babysitter.
I had not made the connection between Coretta and Coretta Scott King.
Can you imagine being told that by such an iconic person?
Suddenly, up came this beautiful, blazing Mark Rothko painting.
Six or seven guys jeered, and Slive turned on the lights.
Father knows best … sometimes
I have three children and two grandchildren.
The essence of comedy, drama and horror is surprise.
Whenever I play a role, its like Ive been kidnapped inside my own body.
