[on shooting Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) and Macbeth (2015)] To go from one project to the other was like culture shock, but it was such a fantastic experience. I had great teachers in Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard to help me with the language and dialogue. I have so much respect for them and it’s something I’m very proud of.

[December 1967, interview in “Playboy” magazine] It’s silly to have as one’s sole object in life just making money, accumulating wealth. I work because I enjoy what I’m doing, and the fact that I make money at it– big money–is a fine-and-dandy side fact. Money gives me just one big thing that’s really important, and that’s the freedom of not having to worry about money. I’m concerned about values–moral, ethical, human values–my own, other people’s, the country’s, the world’s values. Having money now gives me the freedom to worry about the things that really matter.
