I Find It Difficult To Watch Myself...

When I Was A Kid, I Was A Cowboy. I Had A Cap Pistol, And I'd Get Up In The Morning And Strap It On Before I Got Ready.

I Always Knew That Someone Was Going To Come At Me With A Script To Play God. It's Just One Of Those Things, The Way Your Career Is Unfolding And All The Talk About Gravitas Etc Etc, So I Had A Strong Feeling That Someone Was Going To Offer Me The Part Of God. I Was Totally Prepared To Say, 'thanks But No Thanks,' Unless It Was A Comedy.

When I Was Getting Close To Being Accepted For Pilot Training, I Was Allowed To Get In A Jet Airplane. I Sat There Looking At All Those Switches And Dials And I Got The Distinct Feeling That I Was Sitting In The Nose Of Bomb. I Realized My Fantasies Of Flying And Fighting Were Just That - Fantasies.

I Was Always Ambitious. I Always Wanted To Be More Than I Was....i Always Wanted To Be A Movie Actor.

Part Of Acting Is Having The Security To Turn Yourself Loose And Let Yourself Go In Order To Reach Whatever Depths A Character Has. If Your Guts Aren't Hanging Out There, You Don't Offer Anything.
