I avoid seeing myself while I'm working on role so I won't see "me."

I don't do comedy. I think if a situation is funny you just play it for real and if it's funny, it's funny.

A scientist sounds like a scientist because the things that come out of their mouth don't stumble, that's all. If they [said], "And the, um, a microwave, uh," you know, then you don't sound right, but if you can just get it out without stumbling then you're going to sound fine.

Not only do I have to live, right, I have to get some cash for my troubles - it's a scary thing, and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

When I was a kid, I was a cowboy. I had a cap pistol, and I'd get up in the morning and strap it on before I got ready.

Just that working with Clint again is like coming home.

I got my first job as a card-carrying actor in New York in 1967. Before that, I was a very desperate wannabe.
