Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts. Whenever we want something from somebody or when we want to hide something or pretend, we're acting. Most people do it all day long.

An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.

If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.

Mafia is the best example of capitalism we have

I have eyes like those of a dead pig.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.

The only thing an actor owes his public is not to bore them.

The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.

Most of the successful people in Hollywood are failures as human beings.

Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.

Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.

There's a line in the picture where he snarls, 'Nobody tells me what to do.' That's exactly how I've felt all my life.

I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.

If we are not our brothers keeper at least let us not be his executioner.

Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life. Quitting acting, that's the sign of maturity.
