I'm still tap dancing. I'm still going.

I wasn't at all sure I could make that sort of leap into that sort of comic book reality.

When I tested for Billy Budd, I had that kind of confidence that comes with the certainty that you're not going to get something. I was very rough around the edges.

The very first film I ever saw was during the war. My mother took me, I must have been about 4, and that was Beau Geste, with Gary Cooper.

I work primarily for the camera-it's not something I really talk about a lot, but it's part of the way I am as a movie actor. The camera is my girl, as it were.

Unless I try, I'm never really going to be at ease with myself.

Although you have some films that are a real bummer, there's always a film that comes up where it's just heaven.
