Most of the early part of an actor's career, you do the jobs you get.
Well, a younger woman is a type, but not necessarily a type for me. And what is a younger woman? I mean, I'm pretty old. Almost everyone is younger.
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.
Once you've been really bad in a movie, there's a certain kind of fearlessness you develop.
When I was in high school, I earned the pimple award and every other gross-out award.
A star on a movie set is like a time bomb. That bomb has got to be defused so people can approach it without fear.
I hate giving advice, because people won't take it.
The camera photographs what's there.
There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking, I don't know what in the world I'm going to do. It's free-floating anxiety. In my case, though, this is over by lunch the first day of shooting.
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
I've spent more time playing golf than anything else the last 18 years. Just wanted to be an 80s-shooter. Got there, too.
I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.
Once I got started acting I loved it.
I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings, and every time I look at them I see something different.
A lot of people can't remember things because they weren't actually there to begin with - they don't take it all in.
I worry from the moment I take a job. I worry about how I'm going to do it, if I can do it... Then I walk on set and the director says, 'Roll', and all of a sudden, all of it disappears and it's all happening, and I relax, and I'm doing what I do, and I'm not even thinking about it.
When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don't agree with, or maybe I just haven't thought of it or whatever, I'd be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it's going to become predictably my work, and that's not fun.
