I won't mention names, but in my career, the most talented people invariably are the easiest and nicest to get along with.
People are always backing up when I'm just going to shake their hands.
I play a guy who believes he's a king. He's the most common man in the world; in fact his family, like his suits, are just make-up. It's about dysfunctional people and dysfunctional relationships.
People wonder why first-time directors can make a brilliant picture, then suck on the second one. It's because they're a little terrified the first time. So they listen to all the experts around them.
I loved 'Funny Lady' for whatever reason. People say they didn't know I could sing and dance. Well, nobody ever asks me - it's always, 'Punch this guy.'
The most talented people are always the nicest.
What I do quite honestly and seriously and not in any way being humble is not as important as what the garbage collector does. People make actors important.
People say, 'Gee, you do a lot of mafia movies.' I think I've done two, out of 60.
I'm sort of a Walter Mitty. I got fewer brain cells than most people, so when I got friendly with cowboys, I started rodeoing. When I was calf-roping, there was something about the dirt that made me feel clean.
