You have to be so confident and so gifted to fill five minutes of nothing at the very beginning of a play before even a word is uttered.

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.

Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up.

I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience.

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 don't have any blindness when it comes to my money. As an actor, you can get distracted by your work. I do keep an eye on my nest egg, if you will.

Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.

The richest man is he who lives simply but has an abundance of love and kindness to give away.

Learn from the mistakes of others- you can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

You can never love me.

It doesn't count if your swing is going the highest if you're getting pushed.

Honestly, every movie I do in America, the only challenge for me is English. I've done everything already, for me it's pretty easy. Only the English.

'O Tiger-lily,' said Alice... 'I wish you could talk!' 'We can talk,' said the Tiger-lily: 'when there's anybody worth talking to."

People ask me about that all the time. They say, "Did you ever think of directing?" And I say, "It's completely out of the question."

For me, the music is immaterial: It is sounds and visions.

I sleep well. In my entire legal career, I have not lost much sleep at night worrying about things, because I've done what I could do in the time I had, and I've got some rest.

He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get.
