I'd live in a museum if I could. I used to spend hours and hours in the Museum of Modern Art.

If I'd made it right away as an actor, I would've stopped at a certain level and stayed there, probably as a character actor.

I love being verbal in films.

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

The trouble with remakes is that people fall in love with the original. It's like peanut butter. If you try to change the taste of peanut butter, you're in trouble.

The world meets nobody halfway. When you want something, you gotta take it.

In fact, every day I'll read a chapter of some art book. I don't know why. It's just a habit.
