I am a great admirer of other actors, but I never compete with other actors. I always compete with what I did last, and I'm my own most vicious critic. So I'm always trying to do it better.

Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.

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

If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.

I've done my job and I've got the picture out there, and I'm very happy with it.

I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.

I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.
