You're never too old to be crazy.

I don't work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.

I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.

If you held a pistol at my head, I couldn't tell you who they're going to vote for Best Actor.

When it comes to politics, I believe you have to cut the cake so that everybody gets a piece, but at the same time, you have to keep in mind that somebody has to make the cake.

To me, 'Educating Rita' is the most perfect performance I could give of a character who was as far away from me as you could possibly get and of all the films I have ever been in, I think it may be the one I am most proud of.

I just try to play more and more difficult roles.
