I believe in sex on a first date. Otherwise, how do you know if a second date is worth the effort?

‘Promiscuous’ implies that I’m not choosy. In fact I’m very choosy. I just happen to have had a lot of choices.

I’m always shy when I meet people I admire so I wouldn’t be able to say anything rather than, ‘How do you do? Love you! Bye!’

I love getting presents. And awards. I’d do whatever they told me to do.

This friend of mine said he was surprised to find that – I don’t think it’s quite a majority – a bigger percentage of actors are introverts than extroverts. It was a big surprise to him. Now, I know me, and I’ll do anything if I’m playing a character. Or anything that’s true to the character, anyway. But in real life I’m a little more withdrawn.

It wasn’t on my agenda, but the thing about getting important awards is it makes the adventure of your career have a little more possibility. I think just what’s happened so far is already making the opportunities more interesting, even though I’m at the twilight of my career of like 48 years.

I live for my work, apart from my family who come first. And I live to tell stories and pretend to be other people, it’s something I’ve been doing since I was 3 years old. Maybe it’s because I’m intrinsically bored with myself, and I find other people more interesting.

Everything the Coen brothers do is brilliant.

No, I’m so well-known at home I think they think of me like a piece of comfortable furniture that’s always been around that they’re not going to throw out.

I’d love to be a voice in ‘Toy Story 4.’
