I never felt comfortable in real life very well. It’s always been an awkward kind of thing for me and so when I hit the stage I just sensed freedom. I sensed here’s a place that I can have all the experiences of life and not feel uncomfortable about it.

[2011, on turning 70] When you start thinking about death more than sex, you know you’re getting old. At 70, you crest that hill. In the sixties, you’re still thinking you could do something about this slow disintegration of the body. As Katharine Hepburn used to say to me: “Aging, Nick, is boring.” Now I know what she means.

[on receiving an Oscar nomination for his role in Warrior (2011)] I put up boundaries at the beginning with Gavin [Gavin O’Connor]. I said, “I don’t think I should associate with the actors, with the boys. I should stay away from them.” There’s a kind of familiarity that happens if you’re out drinking with the boys and that kind of thing. It makes the work a little more difficult.
