I was born a character actor.

There are many secrets in us, in the depths of our souls, that we don't want anyone to know about.

In order for your dreams to come true, you've got to stay awake.

There's no nobility with war. It's tear-'em-up destruction that leaves you frustrated, bitter and angry... If you really knew what it was like for an hour, you wouldn't want anyone to go through it.

I'd like to have a decade of my life back. I dropped into a void for almost a decade.

Of course, I'm not often the top dog, but sometimes it's better not to be top dog, because you last longer. If a movie or play flops, you always blame the lead. They say, 'He couldn't carry it.' They always blame him. But they rarely blame the second or third banana.

I never turned down anything and never argued with any producer or director.
