Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You!?

At 55 I said the probability is I won't have another relationship. I just didn't want to start another family. Between my own bizarre criteria and taste and the fact that I'm not available for many things I thought it was unlikely. Once you know the science about it, I don't think anybody should consider being committed to a real eternal relationship until you're through something called the infatuation circle.

Frankly, I got into the movies because I like the movies a lot.

There are many directors in the middle range who've made mostly successful pictures, and then there are a few great directors who've had some successes and some failures. I suppose my life would be smoother if I wasn't almost totally enamored of the latter category.

For an actor, style comes last. You first have to implement the whole thing, but your style comes from the subconscious, which is the best part an actor brings to his work.

I'm a New Wave baby, so I got very stimulated by foreign film.

I assume most of the characters I play are exactly like me.
