Human beings do things for a reason, even if sometimes it's the wrong reason.

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.

If you have to have a job in this world, a high-priced movie star is a pretty good gig.

But actors with political views are a dime a dozen.

The year I was born, 1956, was the peak year for babies being born, and there are more people essentially our age than anybody else. We could crush these new generations if we decided too.

As a young man, even if I was going to see a play or a film by myself, I didn't feel like I was alone. There was something that was unfolding up there that brought me into it. And I recognised that. For those two hours, it made me feel like I belonged to something really good.

I come from the school of That Horse is Not Dead.
