 An actor's a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening. |
| To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication. |
| The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money. |
| There's a line in the picture where he snarls, 'Nobody tells me what to do.' That's exactly how I've felt all my life. |

| If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner. |
| I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money. |
| Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent. |

| The only thing an actor owes his public is not to bore them. |

| If you want something from an audience, you give blood to their fantasies. It's the ultimate hustle. |
| Privacy is not something that I'm merely entitled to, it's an absolute prerequisite. |
| I have eyes like those of a dead pig. |
