There is a certain combination of anarchy and discipline in the way I work.

When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody’s face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home.

I go to Paris, I go to London, I go to Rome, and I always say, ‘There’s no place like New York. It’s the most exciting city in the world now. That’s the way it is. That’s it.’

I don’t like to watch my own movies – I fall asleep in my own movies.

You learned the two greatest thing in life, never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.

There’s nothing more ironic or contradictory than life itself.

You’ll have time to rest when you’re dead.

It’s important not to indicate. People don’t try to show their feelings, they try to hide them.

There is a certain combination of anarchy and discipline in the way I work.

I think Hollywood has a class system. The actors are like the inmates, but the truth is they’re running the asylum.

One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people’s lives without having to pay the price.

I’ve never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.

The talent is in the choices.
