[on what keeps him humble] You know, I telephoned my grandparents the other day, and my grandfather said to me, “We saw your movie.” “Which one?”. I said, and he shouted, “Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn’t like?”. I thought that was just classic. I mean, if that doesn’t keep your feet on the ground, what would?

I’m one of those people you hate because of genetics. It’s the truth.
Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within.

[Time magazine, October 13, 1997] You shouldn’t speak until you know what you’re talking about. That’s why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I’m a f—ing actor! They hand me a script. I act. I’m here for entertainment. Basically, when you whittle everything away, I’m a grown man who puts on makeup.
