I have no regrets, because I've done everything I could to the best of my ability.

What I would do is when I was younger I would draw in a sketch book something that happened in my life and then write a little something on the side about what happened or what the story.

The entertainment person gets a certain credibility, and the politician gets a certain notoriety. I'm against it.

Curiously, directing my own films have made me more tolerant and patient. I've always been an extremely impatient actor. Waiting around drove me nuts. But now I'm much more sympathetic to a director's struggle.

When I became successful, I put up a caution. I didn't think it was fair to have the shadow of that kind of success thrown on my family. And I was cautious about being taken by things that could destroy you.

I didn't think about politics until I came to Europe.

Never revisit the past, that's dangerous. You know, move on.
