The first actor I ever saw was The Lone Ranger. I thought: "That's what I want to do."

I can never be the hero now. You have to be young and all that stuff. I used to be the hero.

To me, 'Educating Rita' is the most perfect performance I could give of a character who was as far away from me as you could possibly get and of all the films I have ever been in, I think it may be the one I am most proud of.

For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.

I learned about life before I went into the theater, which is why I've been so happy. I was a soldier.

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

In my opinion, everybody is getting older and older. We have a great deal of dementia because nobody grew old enough to get it.
