Acting is not a competition; everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.

My father was a fish market porter. So I grew up on fish, because he used to steal one a day, I grew up on the very best fish that money could buy, 'cause he only stole the good stuff.

I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.

I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.

As an actor, I'll play anything.

Great acting is about listening to what they are saying ....not waiting to deliver your lines.

If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.
