I always knew that someone was going to come at me with a script to play God. It's just one of those things, the way your career is unfolding and all the talk about gravitas etc etc, so I had a strong feeling that someone was going to offer me the part of God. I was totally prepared to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' unless it was a comedy.

Is there a movie I think I should have won the Oscar for? Yeah. All of them.

If I wasn't acting, I have no clue what I'd be doing 'cause I have no other talent.

I just wanted to be an actor. It's better to be well-rounded.

Did you just call me old? I really prefer the word 'experienced'.

It seems to me that I never grow unless I'm actually working with other actors who have shed whatever shell it is that keeps them insulated from each other.

Your job is always the same if it's a juggernaut or if it's just one of these little jewels of a film that's gonna wind up at the Laemmle or something, so your job doesn't change whatsoever... give it your best shot.
