You put on a face for the public. The face isn't false; it's just another side of you. If it were false, you couldn't last. People want something real and natural, and if they catch you acting, you're dead. It has to look real. In order to look real, it has to be real, and I've always thought of the characters I've played as real people.

You don't need qualifications as an actor or a politician. And I didn't want to be a politician.

You can never have too many friends.

In my opinion, Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't qualified to be governor of California.

I don't want to know what's good, or bad, or true. I let God worry about the truth. I just want to know the momentary fact about things. Life isn't good, or bad, or true. It's merely factual, it's sensual, it's alive. My idea of living sensual facts are you, a home, a country, a world, a universe, in that order.

Acting is just common sense. It isn't hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote.

I'm a Methodist, but not as an actor.
