I think about dying. I've come to realize we all die alone in one way or another.

In Sleep we lie all naked and alone in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness and we are strange and beautiful asleep for we are dying the darkness and we know no death.

I've always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I'm most afraid of though is being alone which I think a lot of performers fear. It's why we seek the limelight - so we're not alone were adored. We're loved so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life.

Every man must do two things alone he must do his own believing and his own dying.

The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.
