If I were a serious person, I'd probably have a real job.
I've never wanted to be the boss.
I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.
I'm like old shoes. I've never been hip. I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.
I was never that much a focus of interest in my career. I'm aware of that now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.
I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.
I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.
I wanted to live the life, a different life. I didn't want to go to the same place every day and see the same people and do the same job. I wanted interesting challenges.
I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn't want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office.
I think what a lot of action movies lose these days, especially the ones that deal with fantasy, is you stop caring at some point because you've lost human scale.
I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.
I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.
What is news? It's hard to quantify. Certainly news has changed completely, and the morning shows are not really designed to bring you the news, except to tell you what happened overnight, and the rest of it is a kind of magazine mentality - a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It's harder to be an educated and informed citizen.
What's important is to be able to see yourself, I think, as having commonality with other people and not determine, because of your good luck, that everybody is less significant, less interesting, less important than you are.
When I first started out, I was a bad actor.
