I'm going to make a film where not one word is really important. I'm going to make it all action.

I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.

The physical life of the scene is determined by whether the set squeezes people together or whether the set has an escape place in it.

I was very intense. I think it's a privilege to be an actor.

Hey, you must be doin' good, 'cause I never hear from you.

I truly believe that all power corrupts. Such is probably the thinking behind every political film ever made in Hollywood.

I knew the exuberance of playing before an admiring audience and hearing my secret voice.
