An actor's a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening.

It's the hardest thing in the world to accept a 'little' success and leave it that way.

Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.

I value each woman for what she has to offer whether it be charm-beauty-wit-intelligence or humor but warmth is the quality I value most.

Ask most kids about details about Auschwitz or about how the American Indians were assassinated as a people and they don't know anything about it. They don't want to know anything. Most people just want their beer or their soap opera or their lullaby.

The principal benefit acting has afforded me is the money to pay for my psychoanalysis.

The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.
