The actor Richard Dreyfuss claims that he has a keen sense of his own mortality. He is an agnostic, but he believes in at least the possibility of reincarnation. Dreyfuss said:

Isn't it funny that God takes you and puts you through the unendurable and then at the moment you have just begun to understand it and have some wisdom, it ends? I have this inner life which is vast and as large as the universe. I really like me. I hope I have another life. I hope I get another shot.
