Being politically active is "more about doing things, not just standing for some platform or being involved in some political party."

I've been hearing it a lot, especially in the last few years; people will say things to me like "Well, if only I was like you in that movie," or "If only I could be with someone like you in that movie." And, you know, it's very flattering to hear that.

I didn't really like doing commercials. You had to behave like you were on angel dust or something.

I just love to act. It's my favorite thing to do in the world, and what keeps it interesting, to me, is the creative challenge. So, different kinds of characters, that's what I just love to do.

Actors didn't use to be celebrities. A hundred years ago, they put the theaters next to the brothels.

I suppose the longer anyone spends on earth, the closer we all get to becoming superfluous characters.

A lot of people, most people who are working, they do it for money. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. It so happens that I made a lot of money already, so I don't have to worry that much about it. I wouldn't fault anybody for doing it for the money, but it doesn't interest me right now.
