Everyone's life is a train wreck. Your life happens to be a high-class train wreck.

A critic is someone who never actually goes to the battle, yet who afterwards comes out shooting the wounded.

Love is as strict as acting. If you want to love somebody, stand there and do it. If you don't, don't. There are no other choices.

I am a greedy actor in the sense that I like the big bites. Put a big fat steak in front of me, and I will eat it.

I'm interested in playing old ladies because I am becoming one. And I want to become a very good one!

A critic never fights the battle; they just go around shooting the wounded.

I went into the family business. To me, it was the norm and not the exception.

If you accept limitations then, yeah, you'll be limited. If you don't accept limitations then the horizon is pretty vast.

Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.

My grandfather is hard of hearing. He needs to read lips. I don't mind him reading lips, but he uses one of those yellow highlighters.

I've heard it said that God made all men, but Samuel Colt made all men equal. We'd see what Mr. Colt could do for a woman.

In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves.

The second I finish shooting something, I know I could have done it better if we started right then.

I want to remake the world; anything less is not worth the trouble.

It's better to have a great team than a team of greats.

I think there are different kinds of elites. I think there are venal elites, and self-interested elites, and selfish elites, and I think there are visionary elites.

The arts are encroaching one upon another, and from a proper use of this encroachment will rise the art that is truly monumental.
