I'll never kick dogs, I'll never hurt a child, I'll never slap a woman - three things I won't do on film.

Bad guys have always been my bag... I look mean without even trying.

A lot of actors think that the more lines they have the more attention they get. That's bullshit. I make people look at me. I don't have to say a lot of words.

Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part.

I don't care where I work. Films are an international business - not an American institution.

If I could direct it [films] I would be very happy. But the economics of business don't always allow you to do what you want.

I think the Europeans are a lot more spontaneous, more artistic to some degree. But I don't think they have the technical talent we do here in the states. Here people have been trained much more specifically - they know exactly what they're doing. The Europeans are perhaps slower, but in the end damn near as good.
