I had great, great times as a Little League coach. People were talking about me quitting acting, and they would say, What about your creative juices? Coaching is creative, because you could take a kid who thought he wasn't any good and, within four minutes, change his mind. And I didn't have to wait six months for them to put music to it.

What I do quite honestly and seriously and not in any way being humble is not as important as what the garbage collector does. People make actors important.

Actors have bodyguards and entourages not because anybody wants to hurt them - who would want to hurt an actor? - but because they want to get recognized. God forbid someone doesn't recognize them.

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

It's a very charming movie about the mob - a real stretch for me.

I'm here instead of having shoulder surgery. But I'm not sure which is more painful.

You have to be very careful when you let someone win.
