The experience you have making the movie is all you have; when the movie's finished, that's for other people. But while you're doing it, that's your time on the planet, so you want it to be good.

I think as an actor you're lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it's left the theater.

If you get into the area of judging the character you're playing you're getting into a sticky area.

No one is black and white or good or bad or happy or sad or what have you. [All have] particular idiosyncrasies that make them fascinating and that's how I tend to approach a character.

There's a myth about actors saying, 'Oh no, that's not me on screen at all. I'm just acting.' OK, if I were to say to you that's not me, that's fine. And I would tell you that I don't behave like a villain everyday, and that's true, I don't. But to say there's absolutely none of me in there is ridiculous.

We are men of action. Lies do not become us.

I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.
