You've got to be flexible. Directors do a massive amount of planning and homework, and if after all that your director decides to throw it all out of the window and shoot spontaneously, then you must follow his lead.

If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.

I don't think human beings are bad. They're weak. And that's what makes 'em bad.

I don't think you retire from movies; movies retire you.

I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.

A man should dress in a way that you don't notice. He looks good and you don't know why. But it's the tailoring, the materials, and the clothes.
