Regrets are something you can't really have as an actor, because ultimately you'll end up destroying yourself... there's a lot of disappointment in this business.
Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business. He loved it so much.
It wasn't until I'd turned 50 and had been in the business 25 years that I realized I might actually have a career as an actor.
I knew real show business from my father, who had been an actor since he left the world of boxing.
This acting's serious! And I really respect those actors. It's a tough business to be able to be something you're not and be natural and convince people on camera.
If you are worried about what people think of you, you should go into politics. Real actors take chances.
I don't aspire to direct like many actors. I would aspire most likely to do some writing, but I haven't had a chance to do that.
I feel bad for young actors who become huge stars too quickly, because you haven't had a chance to practice your craft a lot.
What I've been noticing is people coming up to me and going, 'Are you an actor?' which is cool. That's ultimately what I want.
If I could work with any actor it would have to be Johnny Depp. He is cool.
It's definitely one of those things when you decide to be an actor that it would be really cool to be in a Broadway show or a series regular on a hit show.
When you're in Los Angeles, nobody bats an eye, they're so used to seeing actors, they just act really cool.
And when I was a kid being an actor was not cool. I'm thirty now and when I was a kid in the 80s that wasn't a cool thing to be.
I find that communication as an actor and person is an important part of who I am. And I'm really drawn into the psychology of those dynamics.
An actor can change himself to fit a part, whereas a personality has to change the part to fit himself. The personality has to say it his own way.
The home of Rugby Union is in Twickenham - just outside London in the suburbs, where I live. I'm mad for it. The trouble with being an actor and being in the theater is that you always miss the games.
I know I'm an actor, but I'm not at all a believer in people watching a lot of TV. I've never had television in my home.
However, I hope I am also judged on my accomplishments as an actor and not just on my pretty face!
Got through it without fluffing, that's the main thing any actor can hope for.
With actors like Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and Harrison Ford, what made them such icons is that even in dramatic movies, their characters had a sense of humor.
There's never been a time in history, no matter what the public thinks, when actors have been paid more than they should be.
