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

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.

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

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

Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining.
