Playing a character is an illusion, and I feel that when you know too much about a person, possibly part of that illusion is disrupted.

Love is overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate

There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.

The play is the source, it is orchestrated with words. In a movie, you are not dealing with as much as that. There are machines and wires. When you're acting for a camera, it keeps taking and never giving back.

I didn't want the book [of memoirs] out, naturally - Larry [Grobel] knew that for 20 years, 15 at least, I didn't want anything written about me. Then, you know, things happen, finally it's OK and I trust Larry. Nothing about it is salacious in any way.

The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn't think I had it in me ever, and I wasn't terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties. That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.

I found out how temperamental I am, yes. And that sometimes that can be kind of off-putting.

You'll never be alone if you’ve got a book.

I do believe, and I will always believe, that Shakespeare on film is really something that should be tried more often because it is an opportunity to take the humanity that Shakespeare writes into characters and express it.

My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.

When I was doing 'Scarface,' I remember being in love at that time. One of the few times in my life. And I was so glad it was at that time. I would come home and she would tell me about her life that day and all her problems and I remember saying to her, look, you really got me through this picture because I would shed everything when I came home.

It wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.

If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.

The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying - even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.

You don't get to know anybody in a movie until after it's over. You work less together in a film than you do onstage.

I've never cared for guns. In fact, when I did 'Scent of a Woman' I had to learn how to assemble one.
