That to me is what my idea of film acting should be. There shouldn't be any acting. You should just be watching a real person.

I don't see myself as anything. I just wander around getting on with my life.

The three actors I admire the most are all dead. Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy and the French actor, Jean Gabin. They're all very natural, sort of masculine without being overly macho.

My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You've got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you.

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.

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'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.
