I do have friends in Australia who now refer to me as 'Hollywood Jack.'

I'm good at not laughing. It's not that I don't want to. I'm too old and experienced.

I have no problem with my age. I've been acting for 50 years in Australia and everyone knows my age because I started at 15. So there was never any point in lying about it.

We're becoming so much better at destigmatizing all sorts of things, including mental illness in 'Silver Linings'.

I don't play many characters like myself. Oh I don't know what I am!

When you get as old as I am, you kind of believe there's nothing new under the sun, but there's always a fresh way of looking at something. That's why I love working with young people. They remind you of things you used to know and have since forgotten.

I'm under five feet; I'm very small, 4'11 1/2.
