Quotes:
  • If I start to become a star, I'll lose contact with the normal guys I play best.
  • If you look at yourself as a star, you've already lost something in the portrayal of any human being.
  • It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that. - on aging
  • I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.
