I'm not a conventional leading man at all and have no wish to be.

I've never modeled myself on anybody, but there are a lot of people whose work I really admire and attitudes I certainly subscribe to.

I like risky parts - abrasive characters the audience won't necessarily like.

Has anybody seen my tambourine?

I really like the way that Jack Nicholson [acts] in particular works. I like the fact that he takes enormous risks. He's an enormously disciplined actor who seems to be totally capable of dealing with the business as a business and yet drop it totally when he's working.

Even smiling makes my face ache.

The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity.
