“I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say.”
The New York Times interview (2017)
Context: I was never that involved in the machine of press and publicity as an actor because I’ve always kind of worked on the margins of my profession … And then when my son was younger and it did get a little bit more intrusive, I tried to come to terms with how I was personally going to handle someone coming up to me on the street and wanting some part of my time. … Now what I do — because this is how I live — when someone approaches me and says, "Can I have your autograph," I say: "No, I’ve retired from that part of the business. I just act now." … I say: "What’s your name?" … I touch them. I look at them. I have a real exchange … I’m not an actor because I want my picture taken. I’m an actor because I want to be part of the human exchange.
“I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say.”
"A Library That Would Rather Block Than Offend," by Pamela Mendels, The New York Times (January 18, 1997)
“I cannot say what color Lenore Beadsman’s eyes are; I cannot look at them; they are the sun to me.”
