I've been married for 46 years, and I live in a nice house, my grass is always cut, I pay my bills, and my cat loves me!

Everybody has to be a little lucky, I think.

Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have.

Onstage I have a natural chutzpa that audiences like. I'm out there.

An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.

People think that my favorite roles to do are villains, but I find comedy to be the most challenging and rewarding.

Obvious things like The Deer Hunter. After that happened, the scripts got better. Opportunities happened.

Guns make me very nervous. They're dangerous. I'm more of a pacifist than anyone could imagine.

I remember from when I use to be a dancer, there is an expression among dancers, I had a T-shirt that said: SHUT UP AND DANCE.

Well, I don't play heroes obviously. I never played the guy who gets the girl. It might be interesting to do a part where I was a father in a functional family.

I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law.

I tend to play mostly villains and twisted people. Unsavoury guys. I think it's my face, the way I look.

My favourite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.

I think all men when they get older, they look at the mirror and they probably see their father a little bit.

I look for good possibilities in movies. I don't look for perfection.

Even in the limo, I buckle my seatbelt. I got that seatbelt on before the car moves.

I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.

I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.

Because if I don't know my lines, I really don't know what I'm doing.
