...some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I am a great admirer of other actors, but I never compete with other actors. I always compete with what I did last, and I'm my own most vicious critic. So I'm always trying to do it better.

You don't retire from the movies. The movies retire you.

I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.

Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy,"Easy" doesn't enter into grown-up life.

You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.

I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.
