I'm much more a European Italian than I am an American Italian, and I've always felt that that style of acting comedy is in me. I put comedy as much as I can into all my movies, if I can help it.

Image
I don't like what's going on in Iraq, naturally. I'm part of a large majority of people who don't, but I do not know the whole story. I do not believe what I see on television. I believe a percentage of it, so it's hard for me to discern. I don't like what it's doing to the world.

Image
It was a compromise. There was a sense that I could write my own memoirs, and Larry [Grobel] would help me down the line, or maybe not, maybe he was too close to me.

Image
Certainly the movies were always in the air for me. I come from the era when actors thought it was a big deal to be in the movies.

I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.

Image
We live in a world where the more you're working, the more things you do. It's a workaday world.

There are a couple of times I would've liked to have married. I think I made a mistake, especially once.

Image
I have a life and do a lot of things, and so far my work has been my life. If I was a painter no one would question me about my age. I'm an artist, I hate saying that.

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

Image
I personally think if you're given four months instead of four weeks on a play, with the people who want to work that way, the play will invariably be different and stronger, and much more fulfilling and richer on all counts. There's no doubt in my mind about it.

Opinions I have about anything are in my personal life.

Image
Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don't believe me when I tell them. That's how I saw myself, in comedy.

Image
To be really obvious about something, if somebody straps an M1 on your shoulder and throws you in Iraq, you're going to get a sense of what the hell's going on there. Boy, you'll wake up fast when bullets are flying over your head.

Image
I don't talk politics and I don't talk philosophy or anything like that, but if you look at my work, you might get an expression of me as a person.

They say we die twice - once when the last breath leaves our body and once when the last person we know says our name.

Image
I've often said there's two kinds of actors. There's a more gregarious type and the shy type.
Al Pacino
Image
An actor basically likes to be asked to do something, no matter what position he's in. It feels more natural. Sitting and waiting is more gratifying.

Vanity: my favorite sin.

Romantic love can be a lot of crap, though, let me tell you. And it can hurt you.

Women have always had equal importance onstage, and working with them must have altered my sensibilities. I've never felt sensitive to the whole issue, because being macho has never been a problem with me.
