I have been able to play a lot of guys and they have kept me working.
Donald Sutherland
I have never planned anything. I have been doing this job for over 50 years. I have been paid to work with some wonderful people and it has been a huge gift, to me.
Donald Sutherland
He doesn't translate well into our generation.
Donald Sutherland
But even with no money you could still go to places like the Scotch Club and, you know, John Lennon might be sitting right over there, but I was certainly not a part of any of that circle. I was truly peripheral.
Donald Sutherland
When the camera starts to roll, there is something of death about it.
Donald Sutherland
Well, I was always cast as an artistic homicidal maniac. But at least I was artistic!
Donald Sutherland
I love grabbing my wife and going to a distant location to film.
Donald Sutherland
No, I'm not rich. I had a tax problem in this country, curiously enough, and my accountant said the British government was patently wrong in taxing me, and they were, but we couldn't persuade them and it cost me everything I had.
Donald Sutherland
I don't think I have one iota of cynicism about acting.
Donald Sutherland

Donald Sutherland
Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves ?Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here ?Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change ?
Donald Sutherland
I have no idea. I get involved because I think there's value in the project and because I love the character that is presented to me. I love the opportunity to examine a character, and to have him examine me, live inside me and move my hands. I love that. It's irresistible. It's a drug.
Donald Sutherland
Vietnam was a lie but at least there was a political agenda. It was the domino theory. Iraq is about nothing but George Bush's ego laced with imperialist ambitions. And it was helped by your government.
Donald Sutherland
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? Oh, you know something? I'm so far away from believing that it exists, and the only thing I know are jokes about it.
Donald Sutherland
The only thing I feel passionate about is my wife.
Donald Sutherland
What the nation's built on is discussion, contradiction and growth, and at the moment you can't discuss anything. If you do start to discuss it, you get criticized. If people hate us, you have to find out why and try to solve that problem.
Donald Sutherland
I would look a little silly playing Casanova now.
Donald Sutherland
At my age, you sort of fart your way into a role.
Donald Sutherland
I think we're [me and my son] different. He plans, organizes and intellectualizes more than I do. It wasn't until I worked with Federico Fellini that I understood what my problem was.
Donald Sutherland
Everything was my fault. I was so dumb. But if I hadn't made the mistakes I made, I wouldn't have met the wonderful woman I've been married to for over 30 years, so I guess that makes the mistakes OK.
Donald Sutherland
