Actor

I think being able to age gracefully is a very important talent. It is too late for me.

When I do a picture and it's 90% black, like 'Bird,' I use 90% black people.

I never sympathise with the accused unless there's a chance the accused is not guilty, but I certainly don't ever sympathise with the criminal.

Governor Romney has a great business background. He is extremely well educated. He has several degrees from Harvard, including, you know, business and including a law degree.

Comedy isn't necessarily all dialogue. Think of Buster Keaton: the poker face and all this chaos going on all around him. Sometimes it's a question of timing, of the proper rhythm.

You have to feel confident. If you don't, then you're going to be hesitant and defensive, and there'll be a lot of things working against you.

I've taken advantage of a few breaks that came along and moved along with them.

Naturally, everybody has certain things they wish they hadn't done in life. They wish they hadn't kicked their dog when they were ten or something.

I liked Vittorio De Sica a lot, and I got to work with him once in a segment movie. He was a great director. He was a very charismatic character and a guy I watched a lot when he was directing.

There has to be something in every role that interests you.

Of course we all know Biden is the intellect of the Democratic Party. Kind of a grin with a body behind it.

I guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.

I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.

'Mystic River' just smelled interesting to me. So I read it and liked it right away. Even the dialogue in it was great.

I mean, I've always been a libertarian. Leave everybody alone. Let everybody else do what they want. Just stay out of everybody else's hair.

My mother knew how to read music and everything. But I just kinda learned off of records. And so, I was listening to records and I'd play 'em over and over.

There's a rebel lying deep in my soul.

God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don't have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I'm sure he didn't call everybody jerks.

Kejahatan terhadap anak-anak adalah kejahatan yang paling mengerikan. Untukku, alasan yang tepat untuk mereka mendapat hukuman mati adalah karena anak-anak itu lugu dan butuh bimbingan dari dunia orang dewasa.
