Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.

I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.

If you held a pistol at my head, I couldn't tell you who they're going to vote for Best Actor.

In England, I was a Cockney actor. In America, I was an actor.

My most useful acting tip came from my pal John Wayne. Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.

I sit waiting for things that I can't refuse.

Acting is not a competition; everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
