God willing, even I might scrape a nomination.

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

I spent my life in the library reading books.

I've always loved reprehensible people because they're so much more interesting to play on screen.

I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.

Movie acting is about covering the machinery. Stage acting is about exposing the machinery. In cinema, you should think the actor is playing himself, if he's that good. It looks very easy. It should. But it's not, I assure you.

I won an Academy Award for 'The Cider House Rules,' playing an American.
