Early on everyone should do, every time they do a big film, they should do a little film. It really does keep you grounded.

I believe an artist dies twice. The first time, it's just terrible - I've been there when the phone isn't ringing for years.

I was an insecure kid. Once I saw 'Hercules' with Steve Reeves, it completely changed my life. If I had never gone to that film, I wouldn't be here today.

You know you've been around when they start to remake your own movies when you're still alive.

I would never run for president.

Gangster is the truest friend I can ever ask for.

I think I'm a much better painter than an actor.
