I've been doing a pale imitation of Bill Murray for most of my career.

I always wanted to play Lestrade of Scotland Yard 'cause he's a buffoon that gets to wear a uniform. I thought that would be fun.

Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.

Back in World War II, we viewed the Japanese as 'yellow, slant-eyed dogs' that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different. Does that sound familiar, by any chance, to what's going on today?

I'm not looking for anything. If you start looking for something specific, then you take providence right out of it. You can't completely control it. Otherwise you'd make the same kind of movie over and over again, which some people say I've done.

If not for John Adams leading a revolution against Great Britain...This would be the BAFTAs.

The pleasure of working with somebody who's an actor is they don't waste time with stuff that doesn't matter.
