“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.”

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 .

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.

The most important words that have helped me in life, when things have gone right or when things have gone wrong are ‘accept responsibility.’

I was constantly told and challenged to live my life as a warrior. As a warrior, you assume responsibility for yourself. The warrior humbles himself. And the warrior learns the power of giving.

You have to recognise your responsibility to your community for your actions. Liberty doesn’t mean that you are not held accountable.

Take responsibility for the things you build and invent.

Our veterans accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called.

The price of power is responsibility for the public good.

Today scientists, technologists, businessmen, engineers don’t have any personal responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

Traditionalists like me believe the USA has become strong because of its core values, the freedom, individual responsibility and institutions like traditional marriage, which foster common goals.
