I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.

In other words, I wouldn't like to be an actor if I could only be real. I like to get wild, behaviorally wild, and it's crazy to think of any form where it's just one way.

Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.

Even in the most sophisticated person, it is the primitive eye that watches the film.

I'm fairly well off. I can't poor-mouth that away from people's sensibilities about me, which is something I worry about as an actor. But it would be real stupid of me to do something for the money.

I'm the last guy in the world to feel overlooked by the Academy.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.
