Death is not my best subject.

I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.

It's very easy to confuse Sean Connery with James Bond. Sometimes in the entertainment industry, people believe the cake is more real than the baker.

Remember to be as smart as you are.

My Brat Pack buddies and I didn't exactly handle celebrity very well. Success at an early age is far more difficult to handle than failure.

Almost anything makes me laugh, especially jokes at my own expense. And I will never, ever admit to being ticklish anywhere.

The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.

I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.

Y'all are so cute and y'all talk so proper over here. I love England.

As actors, we need a moment to take a breath and have a moment of slowness.

Early on, I knew I had ideas, but I wasn't sure when it was appropriate to bring them to the table and I was so intimidated by these titans that I was working for.

I don't care how far we've come with "women's liberation," with all these things. In a man's mind, he still needs to be the support of his family. He needs to hold up the world.

Don't trust anybody who'd rather be grammatically correct than have a good time.

Swing at the strikes.
