The truth is, the older you get, the less variety of parts you are offered. If you're a star and you've spent most of your career being able to take your pick of the litter, you notice when the offers start to diminish. You're too old to play leads, so you're offered the supporting role - but many stars don't want to make that transition. They see it as a sign of symbolic impotence. And that the audience will no longer regard them as a star. I love acting, and I'm not going to determine what I do based on what I fear other people might think. I do what I want to do.

This is your life. Now go make it the one you've always wanted.

I don't like the fact that I have to get older so fast, but I like the fact that I'm aging so well.

It's very painful for us to feel we deserve a life. That's the toughest thing. That we deserve to have a life. That can take a lifetime.

If you can get out there and say I'm going to...I'm willing to fail at what I feel is right, that's it.

It isn’t a big jump in the imagination to see yourself living alone like Mr Hoppy.

There's too many interesting women I have…not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed.
