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

As an actor, I'll play anything.

I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.

My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.

I think life has got to develop as you get older, and I don't want to be wandering along doing the same old thing. I want more out of life.

I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
