I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law.

I became an actor by accident.

Is typecasting really a problem?

My hair was famous before I was.

My background is in musical comedy.

Morning is the best time to see movies.

Bear suits are funny - and bears as well.

Everybody has to be a little lucky, I think.

At its best, life is completely unpredictable.

I'm not much of an analyzer or a psychologist.

Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.

Movies are terrifically optimistic enterprises.

I've never made a movie I wasn't surprised to see.

It's true in most movies I don't use my own voice.

I was never a child actor. I was a child performer.

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about.

I don't carry lucky charms, but I believe in those things.

I have been in movies that I thought I wasn't very good in.

There probably aren't a lot of actors my age who tap dance.

They have a kind of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby thing going on.

To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.

I don't need to be made to look evil. I can do that on my own.

Well, you know what they say. A bullet always tells the truth.

Sometimes a certain innocence is good, but not about yourself.

All actors do what they do differently, and it doesn't matter.

I think I'm getting a little bit of Alzheimer's. Just a little.

I don't much like being directed. I enjoy being allowed to play.

If you play a king, it's better if everybody treats you like a king.

One of the difficult things about being an actor is to stick around.

I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.

Onstage I have a natural chutzpa that audiences like. I'm out there.

Because if I don't know my lines, I really don't know what I'm doing.

I look for good possibilities in movies. I don't look for perfection.

My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.

Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have.

I'll tell you, Quentin Tarantino really writes the most amazing dialogue.

I know that whenever I think about death, I come up against a stone wall.

It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.

Also, I think there are huge reactions sometimes, which are also mysterious.

I'm better off not socializing. I make a better impression if I'm not around.

I'm not sure I'd write a good cookbook, but I might make a good cooking show.

I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.

I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.

There's an impression that actors make a lot of choices. I just take what's there.

Even in the limo, I buckle my seatbelt. I got that seatbelt on before the car moves.

I've made a couple of movies in the jungle, and I don't want to go back to the jungle.

Death is wonderful because you can't think about it. How are you gonna think about it?

I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.

You never forget how to dance. It's just a matter of your bones working and things like that.
