Anyone of my generation who tells you he hasn't 'done Brando' is lying.

I remember at 16 years old, growing up in Queens, we were punks, but hey, when we went to the theater, we wore a shirt and tie! Similarly, I believe that to keep movie theaters in existence, they're gonna have to make 'em an event, have a couch, a table and drinks or something. Otherwise, there's no reason to get out of your bed!

I won't mention names, but in my career, the most talented people invariably are the easiest and nicest to get along with.

I've never been difficult to anybody or with anybody on a picture. Especially when you're in that nice status of hierarchy of actors and actresses who get to approve directors. Because once you make that choice, it's my belief that the director's boss.

My acting technique is to look up at God just before the camera rolls and say, 'Give me a break.'

People say, 'Gee, you do a lot of mafia movies.' I think I've done two, out of 60.

The most talented people are always the nicest.
