People

"I act probably a lot more than you see. I happen to choose movies that don't have much of a life, or I choose movies that are shown on cable instead of as features."

End

"I've never had a career of that kind of box office power. I've always learned the hard way."

Family

"I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and patient."
