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

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.

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.

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 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.

The fly lands on the swatter.The movie runs backwardsand catches fire in the projector.This species apes us wellby talking only about itself

[On a dull party:] It was a fête worse than death.

Your master is he who controls that on which you have set your heart or wish to avoid.

Every believer is an anarchist at heart. True believers would rather see governments topple and history rewritten than scuff the cover of their faith.

Some people you can afford to spend a few minutes with, but not a few hours.

What the ego doesn't want us to see is that our pain doesn't come from the love we weren't given in the past, but from the love we ourselves aren't giving in the present.

Feed him ye must, whose food fills you. And that this pleasure is like raine, Not sent ye for to drowne your paine, But for to make it spring againe.

A cousin of mine who was a casualty surgeon in Manhattan tells me that he and his colleagues had a one-word nickname for bikers: Donors. Rather chilling.

We are not the first Who with best meaning have incurred the worst

Well, I'm not saying that America is a bad place or anything. I just think 9/11 needed to happen sooner or later.
