“When you're young you believe it when people tell you how good you are. And that's the danger, you inhale. Everyone will tell you you're a genius, which you are not, and if you understand that, you win.”
“I was very lucky to get well known much later in life. You need to have flopped quite a few times to get a sense of how little any of it has to do with you.”
“The idea that every time you do a film you're supposed to be tortured confuses me. I mean, guys who say, 'Oh, it's really tough, my character is really suffering' -come on. For us, even in the rotten ones we've had a good time. I don't think you have to suffer.”
“I love my grey hair and wrinkles. I love the fact that my face has more of an edge and more character than it did when I was in my twenties and thirties. No Botox for me.”
“The people I've respected most in the industry over the years - Paul Newman, for instance. I just loved the way he handled growing old on-screen. It's understanding that you're now basically a character actor. Which is fine, but you have to pay attention to it.”
“I'm the least metrosexual cat you've ever met. I've never had my fingernails or toenails done, and I've cut my own hair longer than other people have cut my hair.”
“זו הייתה הפעם הראשונה שהייתי מודע מאוד למשחק טוב. ~ על ההופעה של פול ניומן ב"פסק דין "(1982)”
“אני מעדיף לעבור בדיקה בחלחולת בטלוויזיה בשידור חי על ידי בחור עם ידיים קרות מאשר לדף בפייסבוק!”
“אם הסרט מרוויח כסף, אני מרוויח כסף. אם לא, עדיין עשיתי את הסרט שרציתי לעשות.”
“לא יהיה נשיא דונלד טראמפ. הפחד לא יניע את ארצנו. אנחנו לא חוששים ממוסלמים, מהעולים או מהנשים. אנחנו לא הולכים לפחד מכלום”
“אתה אף פעם לא באמת לומד הרבה מלשמוע את עצמך מדבר.”
“לרוץ לתפקיד? לא. שכבתי עם יותר מדי נשים, עשיתי יותר מדי סמים והייתי במסיבות רבות מדי.”
“אני הטעם של החודש.”
“לקריירת משחק יש בדרך כלל חיי מדף של עשר שנים לפני שאנשים חולים לראות אותך. דבר טוב שתהיה לי עבודה שתחזור עליה ואני באמת נהנה לביים.”
“זה לא קשור לסוף שבוע פתיחה. זה קריירה, בניית סט סרטים שאתה גאה בו. פרק זמן.”
“אני לא אוהב לחלוק את חיי האישיים ... זה לא יהיה אישי אם הייתי משתף אותם.”
“I'm only two years older than Brad Pitt, but I look a lot older, which used to greatly frustrate me. It doesn't anymore. I don't have to fit into that category and get trounced by Tom Cruise and Brad.”
“I don't go on that many dates, because the truth is, anytime you go out in public with a girl when you're well-known, there are pictures of you everywhere, and it's like you're a thing.”
“I'm the old-fashioned type who prefers to meet a woman in a more normal setting. I don't like to feel that I'm being hunted down. I've always liked to do my own hunting when it comes to meeting women.”
“There's a certain cruelty to being on a big screen as your eyelids start to sag and your hair falls out and turns gray that you either have to be able to handle or not. What you can't do is try to force yourself into roles that you could have played or would have played ten years earlier.”
