I don't remember if I've been asked seriously to direct a picture. I understand that. I'm very good business for people as an actor and perhaps they'd rather I didn't.

I used to be very quick, I would be able to leave the room and be back before you noticed. When you can't do that anymore you need to change the style of how you do things. But I'm very interested in life and you don't want to lose that.

Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.

When you look at life retrospectively you rarely regret anything that you did, but you might regret things that you didn't do.

I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.

Once you've been really bad in a movie, there's a certain kind of fearlessness you develop.

Comedy is much harder, it's a lot more exacting. You can't just be real and you can't just use the same kind of techniques you use to fill up a regular scene.
