To disappear your complete self into a character is quite difficult. I've tried it 85 times, and I've succeeded two or three times.

As an actor, I'll play anything.

You can write shorthand and still look at the guy you're talking to.

In my day, the drug was alcohol and the weapon was a fist, so it was very sort of innocent and primitive. Now you've got drugs, guns, and knives, which are so lethal.

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

It’s a lesson in life—don’t look back, you’ll trip over.
