If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.

I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.

If you go away on location for three months and your wife stays at home, you've made a whole new load of friends and she's made a whole new load of friends and you get home and you're kind of strangers.

I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.

As an actor, I'll play anything.

My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You've got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you.

I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.
