For my name and memory I leave to men's charitable speeches, and to foreign nations and the next ages. ↗

I think one of the most pervasive evils in this world is greed and acquiring money for money's sake. Once you have six houses and a plane, it's just about a number. It's never been anything I understood. ↗

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that. ↗

I think some people in their 20s really get it, that acting is about creativity and the work. They get their maturity from their work. ↗

I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor, the challenge of tapping into that, reaching down into that sadness or anger, is very therapeutic. ↗

A good director creates an environment, which gives the actor the encouragement to fly. ↗

As I was coming up on the stage, there was one source that could make or break you, the New York Times. Inevitably there would be one actor singled out for a better review, or worse, than somebody else. The effect of that was cancerous, divisive. ↗

Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him. ↗

I don't read my own reviews and I haven't for probably 15 years. I read other people's reviews, though. ↗

I just let the work speak for itself. An actor is not afraid to take risks; to put on different hats; to be a good guy, a bad guy, a victim, an abuser. There are all kinds of people in the world, and playing them is what acting is all about. ↗
