This industry has been really good to me. It's been a great life. I'm not through yet. I'm ready when you are, Mr. DeMille.

I don't have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don't know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don't know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don't think you need all that stuff.

I love roller coasters. I don't get a chance often, but I've gone to Magic Mountain and gone on the rides. I love roller coasters.

I love life because what more is there.

I like the good life too much, I'm not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.

I have dual citizenship, it just so happens I live in America.

I never make conscious decisions.

I don't know what acting is, but I enjoy it.

And I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it's not you going through it.

I came here in 1974 to do a play, and then I went to L.A. I really like living in America. I feel more at home here than anywhere else.

I am able to play monsters well. I understand monsters. I understand madmen.

Every time I try to retire, or even think of retiring from acting, my agent comes up with a script.

Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or course, I think he's terrific; because I know he always had to fight being what he looked like a lot, but I think he's a terrific actor.

Oh yes. I'm an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought.
