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

The greatest luxury is not driving. I didn't own a car until I was 30, and that was a Rolls-Royce, so it was cheaper to insure a chauffeur. I never want to drive again. My mind is always on other things. I hate parking, and I'm very short-tempered and would get road rage, I'm sure.

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

No matter what the reason, if you start to scream and shout, you look a fool, and you feel a fool, and you earn the disrespect of everyone.

Great acting is about listening to what they are saying ....not waiting to deliver your lines.

I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.

I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.
