Actor

I'm somebody who's really contributed to culture. Popular culture.

A gay man can be friends with a straight man. That can happen.

It's good Xerox is known for its copying machines, and it's good Jim Carrey is known for comedy.

For 15 years I did two to three movies a year, sometimes four. I didn't get to spend time building my personal life.

Underneath all the skin, we're all the same.

When you're starting out as an actor, there isn't much food around. I was lucky to have a hit pretty early on. I didn't starve too long.

A career is a series of ups and downs, of comebacks.

Someone's just told me the English are still trying to take over the United States - is that true?

If you're an underdog, mentally disabled, physically disabled, if you don't fit in, if you're not as pretty as the others, you can still be a hero.

I'm lucky to be in this business. I'm very grateful.

I'm sure if you dig deep, Joe and Ralph Fiennes do it because they want to be noticed.

I'm somebody who deserves to be supported and encouraged to continue my work because I have a lot to give.

From 1980 to 1990, I shot more films than any other actor in the Screen Actors Guild, apart from Gene Hackman.

There are 100,000 actors in the Screen Actors Guild. Only 2,000 of them make more than $75,000 a year.

You can tell when you're in a hit.

I'm not bragging but my movies have grossed well over a billion dollars.

You never know who's going to become your friend. Friends are always chance meetings.

I've only had good experiences with actors. Starring next to them and directing them, for the most part they're all inspiring, special people.

I've made a lot of people a lot of money, and I've made a lot of people really happy. I've entertained millions and millions of people.

Every film can be fun, even if it's a terror.
