Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
People think that I'm tough and strong and that I kicked my way through everything. But they are wrong. The truth is that when I was young I was adorable and a trembling wreck.
I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.
The only time I am ever miserable is when I do something just for the money.
I loved Spencer Tracy. I would have done anything for him.
Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.
I'm a legend because I've survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate - I'm still paddling the goddamned boat myself.
If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
I have many regrets, and I'm sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret... if you have any sense, and if you don't regret them, maybe you're stupid.
I think all good actors are personalities. If they're not, they're not stars. What makes you a star is horsepower.
You give because you love and cannot help giving.
I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.
