“We actors don’t travel as tourists with a camera, we really get to enter the life of a place and get to know it.”

Especially in the theater, which is where I came from. And I may go back to soon, as a matter of fact. To Broadway.

I love awards, especially if I get them.

You achieve because you’re lucky to work with people who are very talented.

I hate just showing up, hitting a mark, doing your work, and going home. It’s very boring. But being part of the creation of the whole thing is very exciting.

I love awards, especially if I get them. It’s up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You’re either courageous or not. You have to find a way.

You can do more of independent films. A Hollywood picture, you’ll do one a year, one of those big blockbusters, right? Then you’ve gotta go to the gym to get in shape to do all of the running and shooting and diving and falling and hitting and all that stuff they do today.

Maybe for others it was difficult to find a role that suited my type. But I never thought of myself as a type. I really thought I could play anything, quite frankly. And I have.

some actors seek parts similar to their personalities. But, I prefer undergoing a metamorphosis that depends on the role .

I think cinema is better today that you can be more daring with what you do. If you do it well. With that comes a responsibility not to bore people with vulgarity and all that stuff. To know how to do it right, know how to lay it out there.

One of the pleasures of being an actor is that it takes you places you wouldn’t ordinarily go, and you don’t enter as a tourist, you really enter the life of the place.

Get away from the place that makes you feel comfortable with your depression. The reality is it’s never as bad as the insanity you’ve created in your head.

If you looked busy, you could get away with almost anything.

When you get over 95, every day is your day.

You get older and you suddenly realize the only person you’re in competition with is yourself.

I am appalled by this Marilyn Monroe cult. Perhaps it’s getting to be an act of courage to say the truth about her. Well, let me be courageous.

I just hope I don’t have to explain all the times I’ve used His name in vain when I get up there.

I think as any artist you always want to grow; you always want to get better.

Cleansed of its leftist residues, anarchy – anarchism minus Marxism – will be free to get better at being what it is.
