Then a self-loathing sets in when you realize you're enjoying it", he was quoted as saying.<ref name="people">{{cite news| title=The Beauty Who Tamed the Beast|url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20067401,00.html|access-date=2011-12-23|work=[[People (magazine)|People]]|date=February 7, 1977}}</ref> One anecdote relates that one of his stage co-stars, [[Maureen Stapleton]], told the director of Neil Simon's ''Plaza Suite,'' "I don't know what to do – I'm scared of him."
