What's really important for me is, as an old man, I'm known by my own generation and the next generation know me, too.

Johnny Depp, as far as I'm concerned, is number one. Of his generation, there's no one who can touch him. Some performers, today, it's like looking at holes in the air.

Every actor has to make terrible films from time to time, but the trick is never to be terrible in them.

I'm much softer than people think. I don't present to the world an emotional face. I'm pretty good at self-control, but I am easily moved.

Peter Jackson's instincts are extraordinary, as is his stamina.

I've done a lot of films that have become iconic, not necessarily because of me.

I didn't want to be known as a man who only made horror films. I made some - very few.
