Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.

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

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

The first actor I ever saw was The Lone Ranger. I thought: "That's what I want to do."

You must always steal, but only from the best people. Steal any trick that looks worthwhile. If you see Vivien Leigh or Robert DeNiro or Meryl Streep do something stunningly effective, and you can analyze how he or she did it, then pinch it. Because you can be sure that they stole it in the first place.
