Now, I'm simply working with people I want to work with. I just want to have good working experiences and let the dice fall where they may.

My wife always says that I will be stuck with this forever: I am the difficult one. With Jack Nicholson they always said it was drugs. Warren Beatty is supposed to have screwed everything that jumped off the curve. I'll tell you, in reality a few of us had as many girls as Warren.

A "take" is an opportunity to fail ... and we think that we have to get it right all the time.

I knew I finally made it as a performer when I began hearing rumors that I was gay.

I like to mimic my grandkids. I'm trying to understand the intensity of fixation on a leaf. Kids don't need anything else in their life.

People like Johnny Depp are an exception. He is the current model of what an actor should be. His body of work speaks volumes. He was so under-rated for so long, but he will have longevity - and it is such a gratifying thrill to see he is finally getting the recognition he deserves.

One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you're a star you're dead already. You're embalmed.
