Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. They're really the future, aren't they?

Well, good science fiction is intelligent. It asks big questions that are on people's minds. It's not impossible. It has some sort of root in the abstract. So automatically you're getting closer to potentially divine sources of interest because it is abstract. It's one of the only ways that a film actor can express himself in the abstract and have audiences still go along for the ride. They don't contend it. They accept it, that they're going to go places that are a bit more of the imagination, a bit more out there, and that's more and more where I like to dance.

I was always shocked when I went to the doctor's office and they did my X-ray and didn't find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green.

I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.

Movies work, in my opinion, on the best level when they're more enigmatic, when we don't say it's this or that and where it raises more questions than answers.

For me, acting was a way of taking destructive energy and doing something productive with it, and in that way it was quite a life saver.

I've always believed that the greatest actors are the ones that have the voices that are imitable.
