I always exposed the weakness rather than the nastiness.

By the time the Oscars are on I'll be seventy. How many more chances am I going to have to get nominated for an Oscar?

For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?

I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.

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

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.
