I just love to go home, no matter where I am, the most luxurious hotel suite in the world, I love to go home.

Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.

For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.

As an actor, my attitude towards using of film versus digital is, if you have film, filmmakers have to cut eventually so you don't have to learn all that dialogue. With digital, they can just go on forever and it's a nightmare. So, I like film - nice short takes.

I have enough money not to do pictures ever. I'm seventy years old. I don't want to get up at 6:30 in the morning and learn ten pages of dialogue to do with a bunch of creeps I don't like. It's gotta be fun for me.

My view is that you should always remake failures because then you've got nowhere to go but up.

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.
