You are an athlete when you're onstage. You can't get tired.

Since Star Wars, that film's success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles.

You can't take responsibility for everything. You can't have that kind of control. At some point, it's all out of our hands.

Success is a relative quotient, and fame can be ephemeral. An Oscar is something that becomes a part of your record, a tangible acknowledgement that your efforts have made a difference.

It's true, I did a lot of great movies, and I'm happy. It was what it was, and now I think all of that has fed into where I am now, and I think it has taught me a lot.

Years are not important, my dear.

You are not an extra in somebody else's film. You are the star in your own life.
