I'm not sure I'd write a good cookbook, but I might make a good cooking show.
I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.
You never forget how to dance. It's just a matter of your bones working and things like that.
I remember from when I use to be a dancer, there is an expression among dancers, I had a T-shirt that said: SHUT UP AND DANCE.
Well, you know what they say. A bullet always tells the truth.
A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.
I don't have kids. Maybe that's kept me young. I have a wife for almost 50 years and she looks after me a little bit like I was seven years-old.
You do something on television, and so many people see it that it follows you around. It's interesting. I've done a couple of things on TV, and probably more people saw me than in all the movies I've made.
I look for good possibilities in movies. I don't look for perfection.
I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.
I feel like you are this or that because other people say so. I wouldn't know how to play a psychopath. I don't think about it that way. You think about playing the scene but if the other people say that guy is crazy, then you are.
My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.
I tend to play mostly villains and twisted people. Unsavory guys. I think it's my face, the way I look.
If you play a king, it's better if everybody treats you like a king.
