I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be goddamn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble.

In my acting, I have to identify with something in the character. The big tough boy on the side of right - that's me. Simple themes. Same me from the nuances. All I do is sell sincerity and I've been selling the hell out of that ever since I started.

If I depended on the critics' judgment and recognition, I'd never have gone into the motion-picture business.

Women have the right to work wherever they want, as long as they have the dinner ready when you get home.

Thanking people is dangerous business. A name always slips your mind.

We're burnin' daylight!

I stick to simple themes. Love. Hate. No nuances. I stay away from psychoanalyst's couch scenes. Couches are good for one thing.
