In my day, the drug was alcohol and the weapon was a fist, so it was very sort of innocent and primitive. Now you've got drugs, guns, and knives, which are so lethal.

If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.

If I work with a bad actor, my reaction is to immediately become worse than they are.

I learn the whole time. I think it would be dull if I thought I was going to work and wouldn't find something new. We always learn.

I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.

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.

First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.
