I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.

I'm naturally shy but I've done this [movie Salomaybe] so much and you get better at it than you would think.

You'll never be alone if you’ve got a book.

Actors are always outsiders. It's necessary to be able to interpret - and that gets distorted when you become famous.

There is no happiness. There is only concentration.

I' ve won awards. And they didn't make me feel bad winning them. They made me feel pretty good. But it also did not make me feel bad NOT winning the Academy Award.

I didn't want the book [of memoirs] out, naturally - Larry [Grobel] knew that for 20 years, 15 at least, I didn't want anything written about me. Then, you know, things happen, finally it's OK and I trust Larry. Nothing about it is salacious in any way.
