I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.

I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy.

When I was in high school, I earned the pimple award and every other gross-out award.

I'm in the movie business; it's meant to be very cutthroat. But you won't find anybody that ever says I cheated them or manipulated them.

Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett are very good actresses.

I think human beings have a basic instinct to be free and explore their world in their own way. I've always been driven to look at life as something which we should try to plunge into rather than sit back. You have to be able to have fun and keep creating a sense of excitement to how you approach the world.

You are more thoughtful because you don't act as quickly anymore. When I turned 70 it was the first time I felt young for my age. Fifty dropped on me like a ton of bricks - there is something about that number - but when 70 came along I felt good about it.
