I don't want to be an English actor doing the greatest American accent you've ever heard. I want to be an American doing nothing.

When you're a movie star and you're young, you are always playing someone who's a better fighter, a better lover, a better everything than you.

The old guys like me started in the theatre. I was in the theatre for nine years.

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

In real life, I'm afraid of heights - and people who get moral convictions... Adolf Hitler in London.

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

I'm always slightly envious of people who become extremely rich without anyone knowing who the hell they are, like financiers.
