Since I was 19, I've had the most fun possible every single day, even when I had a rough life. It was the army which taught me about life, and the theater which taught me how good it could be.

Someone said to me the other day: "Well, you're eventually going to live until 110." And I said: "Well, who's going to keep me? What age do I retire? 100?" How are you going to live all those years and who is going to keep you doing it? I have a couple of grandchildren now so I'm banking on them.

I'm always slightly envious of people who become extremely rich without anyone knowing who the hell they are, like financiers.

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

I don't want to be an English actor doing the greatest American accent you've ever heard. I want to be an American doing nothing.

I just try to play more and more difficult roles.

You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.
