Making art is an act of courage. Do you know who said that?

Wanting to work is a luxury; having to work is not. If you're an artist, an actor, and you don't have to work, then you do work that you wanna do.

You never know who's going to become your friend. Friends are always chance meetings.

Typecasting is a good thing. It's good to be known for what you do.

Sometimes it's good to miss a bus. It might be the wrong bus.

For 15 years I did two to three movies a year, sometimes four. I didn't get to spend time building my personal life.

From 1980 to 1990, I shot more films than any other actor in the Screen Actors Guild, apart from Gene Hackman.
