 The studio rented a house for my wife in Los Angeles under a phony name to keep reporters away. Whenever I wanted to visit her and my children, I would have to sneak in the back door after dark. |
| The idea of working with Steven Spielberg was very attractive. He's such a master. He knows the language of the camera and of filmmaking, which gives him a great freedom. |
| I began imagining scenes in public which some drunk would come up to me and slap me in the face. Nothing like that ever happened, but I often wonder if I would have turned the other cheek. |
| Spielberg knows his craft so well, he can also improvise, and that is a lot of fun. |
| It's important to me to work in my own language now and then. I love English, but you can never learn to master a foreign language if you're not brought up with it. |
| Playing Christ, I began to feel shut away from the world. A newspaper became one of my biggest luxuries. I noticed that some of my close friends began treating me with reverence. |

| In a theater, the part is mine and I can control it as I want to. In the movies, I don't have direct contact, and I am fighting technical machinery. |
| I just feel I shouldn't work too much, because there are so many other things to do. |
| I think English is a fantastic, rich and musical language, but of course your mother tongue is the most important for an actor. |
| I accept a role only if it's something I really, really like. |
