Quotes
Acting in the theatre is fun, acting in film is work.
Let's face facts, this is visual medium, there's a very high premium put on people who are good-looking. But the minute you rely on that you get yourself in trouble. You certainly don't make a career out of that anymore as an actor.
You have actors who begin at a certain young age and there's very little change in their technique and the depth of their performances; they're the same 30 years later.
There are people who would rather choke than go see my movies. They write me letters all the time.
Getting older is hard.
I wish I could play the lead role in one movie, one great movie.
I don't think I really have a talent for movie acting. I'm not bad at it, but I don't think I really have a talent for it.
I'm a pretty loyal person.
