I'm the happiest grandfather in the world, I promise you.

First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.

A lot of my best parts I've been the second choice for, so you never get too egotistical about anything.

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.

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.

If you really want to become an actor, but only providing that acting doesn't interfere with your golf game, political ambitions and your life, you don't want to become an actor. Not only is acting more than a part time job, it's more than a full time job. It's a full time obsession.

I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
