I don't believe in having to show anybody anything. I just do my work. You know, making a living as an actor is such a rarity on earth. It's like making a living as a painter. So I look at different opportunities in the same way as Jack Nicholson, who said once, "Keep popping up in different holes. That's what you want to do: Just keep popping up in different holes." That made a lot of sense to me.

It's all about commerce. Movies are not made like paintings, where you can make them for free and put them at the side. Movies are supposed to make money.

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

A career is a series of ups and downs, of comebacks.

Underneath all the skin, we're all the same.

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

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