I've been able to do things that allow me to hold my head up and still be popular.

The Killing Fields, my character's teachings frame the movie and the argument of his lectures is the challenge of dealing with the painfulness of life in the absence of faith.

The virtue of the country is that it makes you thirsty for the city.

I dont think playing a villain is my greatest talent.

I got a note from my father, who said that Success is wonderful, if you don't inhale. That was his own aphorism, and I think it's the very best thing he could have said to me or anyone else on the subject.

If there's any business that instructs you in the strong hand of fate, it's show business. You can plan and plan, but it's what happens to you that really determines what your career will be like.

That's where I'd like to be: when the business says here's a good actor who is marketable so we can use him. Just that.
