The bad guys dont always get punished and the good guys are not necessarily pure.

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.

I dont think playing a villain is my greatest talent.

I think people have some control over what they want; there's a relationship - maybe not automatic - between what you want and get.

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.

I've always done what I thought was good if I could live on what they were offering-and sometimes if I couldn't. So even when I was broke, my career didn't lack for interest.
