Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

In film, other actors' performances really are not your concern. If the other actor isn't giving you what you want, act as though he were.

I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.

I used to get the girl; now I get the part. In 'The Quiet American' you may have noticed I got the part and the girl. It's a milestone for me, because it's the last time I'm going to get the girl.

This is your life, Larry. Learn to enjoy what you've got.
