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

I had been nine years in the theatre and hadn't had massive success. My only thing was I wanted to be an actor and I didn't care when, where, or how much for.

And to Tom Cruise, for if you had won this, your asking price would have gone down so fast. Do you have any idea what supporting actors get paid? We get only one trailer, a small one, in the back.

I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.

There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.

The basic rule of human nature is that powerful people speak slowly and subservient people quickly - because if they don't speak fast enough, nobody will listen to them.

Be patient.Of course it will come. It took me years to get an Oscar.
