Honesty isn't enough for me. That becomes very boring. If you can convince people what you're doing is real and it's also bigger than life - that's exciting.

Dysfunctional families have sired a number of pretty good actors.

It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that.

The difference between a hero and a coward is one step sideways.

Hollywood loves to typecast, and I guess they saw me as a violent guy.

That's the great thing about plankton. It pretty much keeps to itself.

Seventy-five per cent of being successful as an actor is pure luck. The rest is just endurance.
