I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend, and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we'll ever see.

My career has been full of remarkable coincidences that have nothing to do with me.

It can be a simple sentence that makes one single point and you build for that. You zero in on one moment that gets that character, you go for it, that's it, man, and if you fail the whole thing is down the drain, but if you make it you hit the moon.

Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure.

I had no desire to be in the movies. All my training had been in the theater, thank God.

Success is always somebody else's opinion of you; but it doesn't amount to a damn compared to your own opinion of yourself.

I have never lost a total passion for my work.
