I have never lost a total passion for my work.

I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.

Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them

A man's body may grow old, but inside his spirit can still be as young and as restless as ever.

I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

I'd rather make the cut in the Crosby than win another Oscar.

I had no desire to be in the movies. All my training had been in the theater, thank God.

I was lying ten and had a thirty-five foot putt. I whispered over my shoulder: "How does this one break?" And my caddie said, "Who cares?"

I would rather play Hamlet with no rehearsal than TV golf.

Nobody deserves this much money - certainly not an actor.

I won't quit until I get run over by a truck, a producer or a critic.

Stay humble. Always answer your phone - no matter who else is in the car.

My career has been full of remarkable coincidences that have nothing to do with me.

How do you know that God didn't speak to Charles Darwin?

Everything that is truly worthwhile - I think passion is involved in your approach to it. No matter what it is.

If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable.

Dying is not a sin. Not living is.

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
