Some men just want to watch the world burn

Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It's very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.

I'm very much more choosy now. I do stuff that I really, really, really like.

Since I was 19, I've had the most fun possible every single day, even when I had a rough life. It was the army which taught me about life, and the theater which taught me how good it could be.

Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.

For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?

I learned about life before I went into the theater, which is why I've been so happy. I was a soldier.
