If you're an underdog, mentally disabled, physically disabled, if you don't fit in, if you're not as pretty as the others, you can still be a hero.

Show business has never been my everything. It's a means; it's not the end. It's a means to the end. I want and have always wanted freedom. That was always my goal, to not have a boss, to not have anybody tell me what to do. Luckily, as an actor, I got that.

There's tons of waste on every film. It really doesn't matter the budget, as long as it hits a bull's-eye.

Unless you're Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant, there are few guys who can do comedy and drama.

I'm just thinking all the time. There are times when I don't really need to think. You know what I mean? If you think about stuff for five hours, you really only need to do like five minutes and the rest of sort of rehashing it and dramatically going over it.

The worst professional advice I've received. "If you were the last person on earth, I would never choose you to be a movie star."

If I could spend the rest of my life inside one movie it would be The Godfather, because it's the greatest movie ever made.
