Being a star is an agent's dream, not an actor's.

The most solitary I ever felt was when I was living in New York. I used to live in Enrico Caruso's old apartment, and I had a special staircase that took me up to the roof. There was nobody up there.

I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.

Seeing your name on the list for KP or guard duty when you're in the Army is like reading a bad review.

I love going to black churches, and I love some of these black preachers. The best preacher I ever saw in my life was a 93-year-old in a black church in Hamilton, Virginia. What a preacher!

Smell that? You smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

It's no big thing, but you make big things out of little things sometimes.
