I do not like assassins, or men of low character.

I was trained to be an actor, not a star.

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.

Like a duck on the pond. On the surface everything looks calm, but beneath the water those little feet are churning a mile a minute.

Nothing counts so much as family, the rest are just strangers. (as Nicholas Earpp in Wyatt Earp, 1994)

If you look at yourself as a star, you've already lost something in the portrayal of any human being.

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.
