I've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.

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

I was a repertory actor, which meant that I did a play every week. I was a different character every week; for a year, I was doing 40 or 50 characters.

When I was 6 my father went to fight in the war, so he was my big hero. I thought he was the greatest thing.

The old guys like me started in the theatre. I was in the theatre for nine years.

You don't sacrifice your individuality; you sacrifice a lot of freedom.

I've never been competitive with other actors. I've been competitive with myself and I'm my own worst critic, a terrible critic I am, and unless I get something right, I feel very unhappy.
