I still don't know what the film was about because all I remember is a whole lot of technical dialogue about a body in a suitcase.
The World's Fastest Indian.
I said, 'I can't play Nixon. I'm not an American.
Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.
Well, it's mission impossible, Mr. Hunt -- not mission difficult.
Harry and the Butler
I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.
This industry has been really good to me. It's been a great life. I'm not through yet. I'm ready when you are, Mr. DeMille.
I don't look like him; I'm Welsh and have a rugby player's build. Burt was long and sinewy, but that was OK. He said [in the documentary] he liked having pretty ladies about, and I thought that was the essence of the guy. He enjoyed life.
I've had the great fortune to work with many great directors [and] great actors, and I just want to thank them.
I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.
I have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
Life isn't worth living if I miss an episode.
[During one scene in the movie] Proof, ... Night of the Living Dead.
The World's Fastest Indian? Oh, that's not for me. I've done enough with that role.
When I became an actor my dream was ... to come here to Hollywood. You know Hollywood is a state of mind ... it's synonymous with a dream factory.
I almost missed the part because I forgot to read (the script).
I am able to play monsters well. I understand monsters. I understand madmen.
I've got no need to prove to myself that I can do Shakespeare. I've done it.
I was lousy in school. Real screwed up. A moron. I was antisocial and didn't bother with the other kids. A really bad student. I didn't have any brains. I didn't know what I was doing there. That's why I became an actor.
I was in North London, I remember, doing a play, and the news came through that Robert Kennedy had been assassinated. I thought, 'The world has completely gone insane.'
Everyone today is so laid-back and cool and it's kinda boring, but Tom is the opposite of that
Sometimes you get as little as 25 percent.
Just because I went buggers, doesn't mean you will. This stuff is not strictly hereditary, they know that now. Listen to me, you're going to be OK.
I was so glad that I did it (the film). I think it was probably one of those more satisfying films to be in. Working with Gwyneth is, I think, one of the greatest experiences because she's a spectacularly good actress.”
Blank face is fine.the computer works faster than the brain,don't forget.The art of acting is not to act.Once you show them more,what you show them,in fact is bad acting.
I love life because what more is there.
[In September, Gwyneth Paltrow reprises her role in the award-winning play] Proof ... Shakespeare in Love.
On his Hannibal Lector mask: I've got it at home. I wear it to bed every night.
