I didn't want to come in the movie every so often, every 20 minutes saying, 'Dinner is served, would you like coffee?'

I sit waiting for things that I can't refuse.

When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I've had success as I've gotten older, because I'm able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.

When I was 6 my father went to fight in the war, so he was my big hero. I thought he was the greatest thing.

I spent my life in the library reading books.

I won an Academy Award for 'The Cider House Rules,' playing an American.
