A lot of actors think that the more lines they have the more attention they get. That's bullshit. I make people look at me. I don't have to say a lot of words.

Being born with a pair of beady eyes was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I'll never kick dogs, I'll never hurt a child, I'll never slap a woman - three things I won't do on film.

Bad guys have always been my bag... I look mean without even trying.

One day, something happened. It made life very precious to me.

Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part.

I don't care where I work. Films are an international business - not an American institution.

I tried to learn the languages - Italian, Spanish, and German - not to successfully. Working on a European set isn't a hell of a lot different from working on an American set.

I'd like to do more comedy, but i think my forte is still in the heavy. I'd love to do a comic lead, a musical.

If I could direct it [films] I would be very happy. But the economics of business don't always allow you to do what you want.

In some sense, prose fiction is just a way of unlocking a space. If I can unlock the space, it comes out and it's vivid, I find that I care about it, and it's part of me.

I swear I have at least one good song idea a day. But if I don't get pen to paper in ten seconds, it's gone forever.

If you are showing love to your fellow human beings, you are showing love to your God.

The circus comes as close to being the world in microcosm as anything I know; in a way, it puts all the rest of show business in the shade.

I played because I loved it. It was incredible when they told me they were going to sign me and they were going to give me money.

Beyond 2050 the world population may start to decrease if women across the world will have, on average, less than 2 children. But that decrease will be slow.

My ahimsa is my own. I am not able to accept in its entirety the doctrine of non-killing of animals.

I dont know how to say this but... I LOVE YOU

If you want an expert on war, you get a retired general. I'm not exactly a general, but I am retired.
