I think part of my reputation has to do with the difficult roles I've played. Actors do tend to get identified with their characters.

There was no one around called 'Val' when I was young, so I wanted to be John or Bill. Now I like it.

I'm a better person when I'm preparing for a role, when I'm studying a role.

Mark Twain was an artist working at the highest level. He wrote a book, his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, that put America on the world stage for literature. It's almost as if, if you start reading that book as a racist, you cannot finish it and still be a racist.

It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.

I probably complained more when I was younger. The movie industry can be frustrating but I think sometimes I could have been more helpful, approaching a film as a partnership rather than being critical of a director's ignorance. I wasn't sensitive to the fact that it's very hard to direct.

I don't make any pretense about being normal. I'm not.

Gregory Peck was so charismatic. I saw a woman fall down - fall down! - when she saw him in a restaurant. And Brando. We were in London, and by then he was about 380 pounds. There was a gorgeous waitress, and off he went, in direct competition with me for this young girl's attention, speaking French, making her blush.

Mark Twain had a way of telling stories that shifts your consciousness away from labels.

I'm very wary of news on television.

You just don't understand humility until you have children and get divorced. I was very hurt and very angry and so was she. But when kids are involved, you either become friends with respect or you become mortal enemies.

So it`s always helped me to have a foundation, an ideal to strive for and goals. It`s hard for me to be disciplined and plan things.

It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.

My first girlfriend in high school, I had a girlfriend in grade school, but my first girlfriend in high school was Mare Winningham, very fine actress.

I was in love with Tina Goodman since I was three and her parents came popping out of the trash cans. I think it made a big impression on me.

It was very serious and I wanted to do something really different so there was this comedy called TOP SECRET.

The Secret Service is a strange group. They don't really have a leader. It's not set up like a military. Each one is supposed to be able to act like a leader when something comes up.
