John Gielgud used to have me whip him with a belt across his bare ass every night before curtain up, and that was before we were friends. Then things got weird.
[about acting] Nature, that's our job. To understand the world around us and ourselves within it. The real work isn't digging for subtext or parsing a writer's intent. The real work is living.
But I remember you from that Omnibus episode you did in the '70s. You played Edgar Allan Poe. "The Need for Nightmare."
Well, well, well... Not too many people remember that old gem, including me. How was I?

I'm gonna use my car, Trevor.
Does that mean you do or do not have super speed?
Trevor, would you please focus?
Hmph. What is there for me to focus on? I'm in the passenger seat.
I don't know. Just look around or something.
Come on. Let's both stay loose and relaxed.
Simon Williams: What? No. You know I can't do either one of those things.
No, I had a feeling it would all sort itself out.
You say that about a lot of stuff, don't you?
