The difference between my generation of actors and their generation is that they were bigger than life. We are not bigger than life

If you are willing to expose your heart...being publicly private, you just may do something.

I'm curious about what makes people do things that they do, unless it's absolutely terrifying to me.

The big reason why I became an actor in the first place was to communicate. I never acted in high school...I was desperate to communicate.

Everybody can't be like Redford and pop out there and make big bucks right away because you look like a Greek god... The guy's a friend of mine and he has absolutely no privacy in his life.

If the film isn't in some way going to study behavior then I'm not interested, but the reason why I'm not interested in directing in film is that it would take me, to be as good an artist as I feel I am an actor, it would take me another 35 just to conquer.

I'm not a good reader. I had to take remedial reading in school. I was a slow reader and therefore it's tough for me to stay interested in things long enough, I've read, probably, since college maybe 10 books, which is disgusting.
