I think anybody who bets on horses and says they win is probably a liar.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

I always used to say to myself, I'm going to die of lung cancer. That's the choice I'm making.

For me really good acting is about subtext.

The theater's a live thing, and film is, to some extent, a discipline where you're putting everything together and trying to execute something exactly. You do it away from people and then you present it at the end.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.
