If you put down a list of jobs, doctor, lawyer, janitor, teacher or movie star, everybody would pick the movie star. And why? So you could lie around the pool, drink margaritas and send money to your parents. So that's what I did.
I've only had good experiences with actors. Starring next to them and directing them, for the most part they're all inspiring, special people.
I've made a lot of people a lot of money, and I've made a lot of people really happy. I've entertained millions and millions of people.
I'm sure if you dig deep, Joe and Ralph Fiennes do it because they want to be noticed.
I'm somebody who's really contributed to culture. Popular culture.
For 15 years I did two to three movies a year, sometimes four. I didn't get to spend time building my personal life.
I'm not going to say, I'm an actor and I'm changing the world. Who cares?
If you're an underdog, mentally disabled, physically disabled, if you don't fit in, if you're not as pretty as the others, you can still be a hero.
I'm not bragging but my movies have grossed well over a billion dollars.
I'm lucky to be in this business. I'm very grateful.
I love the fame and the money and the power. You have to keep working to have that.
From 1980 to 1990, I shot more films than any other actor in the Screen Actors Guild, apart from Gene Hackman.
Underneath all the skin, we're all the same.
I'm somebody who deserves to be supported and encouraged to continue my work because I have a lot to give.
When people are nasty, it gets everybody's attention, and it gives them a name.
