A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.
I don't have kids. Maybe that's kept me young. I have a wife for almost 50 years and she looks after me a little bit like I was seven years-old.
You do something on television, and so many people see it that it follows you around. It's interesting. I've done a couple of things on TV, and probably more people saw me than in all the movies I've made.
I look for good possibilities in movies. I don't look for perfection.
I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.
I feel like you are this or that because other people say so. I wouldn't know how to play a psychopath. I don't think about it that way. You think about playing the scene but if the other people say that guy is crazy, then you are.
My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.
I'm better off not socializing. I make a better impression if I'm not around.
I tend to play mostly villains and twisted people. Unsavory guys. I think it's my face, the way I look.
If you play a king, it's better if everybody treats you like a king.
Somebody said to me that I speak English almost like somebody for whom English is not their first language.
My father passed away a couple of years ago, but he was very old. He was almost a 100 years old. And, you know, he had a very good life. He came to America and he had a good life.
I became an actor by accident.
If you do movies that are modestly budgeted, the way they finance them is they figure out how they can sell them.
