An actor only has his own understanding and experience to work with.

I've never wanted to be the boss.

My ambition from the very beginning was to make a good part for myself, something differently to what lately I've been doing.

Henry: Well I'm sorry about your head though, but I thought you were one of them. Indiana: Dad, they come in through the doors.

[Jimmy] Breslin's [write] really great book on Branch Rickey. And Branch Rickey himself wrote quite a lot. There's some film and kinescope from television.

I saw what luck and success I had as an opportunity to twist it up and do something different, so I've always sought out different genres and different kinds of characters.

The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
