Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but the loyalty never fades.

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.

When I'm doing a movie, I eat the same thing every day. For lunch, it's tuna salad or chicken salad and cole slaw. That's it. For dinner it's either veal and rice, fish and rice or steak and rice. It gets boring; boy, does it get boring.

Certain characters, mostly heroes, have to be the straight silent type; that is part of the make-up.

In a contest between me and a bulldog, you would say the bulldog is cuter.

The biggest and most interesting crisis in the world is the human crisis, and it never gets boring. It goes back to Shakespeare. You don't need a gimmick; it's just man against man and their intolerance of each other.

People that spend time in a foxhole - they're never going to find that relationship anywhere else again... Everything else pales next to that. When you think about the Second World War vets - more than even the Vietnam vets - there's a brotherhood.
