I'll tell you, Quentin Tarantino really writes the most amazing dialogue.

In my personal life I'm very conservative. I've been married to the same person for nearly 50 years, I'm scrupulous about paying bills, avoiding debt. I'm very careful. But as an actor I'm pretty reckless. I've done a lot of things that, when I see myself on screen, I have to shut my eyes. And I've made a whole bunch of movies that nobody sees, including me.

I have been in movies that I thought I wasn't very good in.

To me, there are things you're good at and things you're not so good at. For some reason, I'm good at darker characters. It has to do with how you look.

Quite often, I'll be sent a script for a movie. And I find that I like it, so I say I'll do it. But then they rewrite it for me. They make it quirky. Odd. I find that rather annoying. I call it Walkenising.

There's something dangerous about what's funny. Jarring and disconcerting. There is a connection between funny and scary.

A job leads to a job, just like anything else, and it became apparent that this was probably what I was going to keep doing.
