You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn't want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.
I never feel sexy. I have a distant relationship with the mirror.
It's always nice to anticipate working in something that you know people will have an appetite for.
If people recognize me when I'm out in public, I'm very nice to them. I'm very nice to people even when they don't recognize me. I don't even mind if people come up to me while I'm eating dinner, but if they recognize me while I'm having sex, I refuse to sign autographs.
Irish as a person but I feel Jewish as an actor.
I had no expectation of the level of adulation that would come my way. I just wanted to make a living with a regular role in a television series.
I found out that drama was a fascinating exercise as a way to get out of my self and into somebody else's head.
Acting was a way out at first. A way out of not knowing what to do, a way of focusing ambitions. And the ambition wasn't for fame. The ambition was to do an interesting job.
If you're going to define me properly, you must think in terms of my failures as well as my successes.
I don't think I have something that's pronounceable as a philosophy. ... When it was fashionable to say, May the Force be with you, I always said, Force yourself. ... I'll say again then, The Force is within you. Force yourself.
I don't do stunts - I do running, jumping and falling down. After 25 years I know exactly what I'm doing.
