When I was doing 'Scarface,' I remember being in love at that time. One of the few times in my life. And I was so glad it was at that time. I would come home and she would tell me about her life that day and all her problems and I remember saying to her, look, you really got me through this picture because I would shed everything when I came home.

A kiss is a lusty dollop of dessert to be served with desire and savored with passion.

Great directors can understand the staging in such a way that can make a scene come alive. Others have a certain way of pacing the scene.

Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow.

I hope the perception is that I'm an actor, I never intended to be a movie star.

I like, for instance, 'Serpico.' I enjoyed playing Serpico because Frank Serpico was there. He existed. He was a real life person and I could - I could embody him. I could, you know, I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It's almost like a painter having a model to become.

I was never very happy with performing; it didn't turn me on much.
