Rip Torn

When I grew up, people said, 'You'll never be the man your dad was.' And I said, 'Gee, I hope not.'

I've got two old Volvos, two old Subarus, and an old Ford Ranger. If you've got an old car, you've gotta have at least several old cars, 'cause one's always gonna be in the garage.

I think most actors are shy. I really do. The greatest actors can disappear. I had friends call me the Blend-In Man.

If you're nice, if you like yourself, if you treat other people well, you're going to be successful. I guarantee it.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
