This dress code should be mandatory for most events.
Kids accept a lot more, and they buy it, because they’re free.
An actor needs to be not remotely anywhere close to in control, and a filmmaker has to be totally in control.
An actor shouldn’t have to leave the set and go home and write a bunch of stuff for a bunch of other people, the next day. I found it very unpleasant.
Every filmmaker’s different, every filmmaker has a different approach.
My recipe for success is chance, basically. Just luck. It’s a miracle that people still hire me after some of the stuff I’ve gotten away with. Honestly!
I think kids, in general as an audience, are the way forward because they’re not sort of sullied by intellectual expectation or this or that. It’s a very pure kind of response to the work.
People in life, when they have a tendency to exaggerate or lie or whatever, you always sort of notice that their voice goes up quite high.
You’re looking at each and every potential corner for an air bubble to escape. Absolutely! You’re on the best of your game.
Well, having no intelligence, I’m looking forward to gaining some, whether artificial, superficial or super-duper.
I was always a fan of the great old spaghetti Westerns, the Sergio Leone films. But the one that always sticks with me, that I just thought was brilliant and perfect is “Cat Ballou.” Lee Marvin in “Cat Ballou.”
They tell you to be careful because maybe you don’t want to meet your heroes. I’ve met pretty much every one, and I’ve never been let down.
When you realize you’re essentially you’re God, there ain’t nothing on earth more powerful than you, you can do anything you want.
I actually tell lies for a living. Exactly. I mean, that’s what acting is, really.
If you really take a step back and observe people who are considered super-normal and watch them a bit, you’ll realize that they’re actually completely out of their minds! Most people are really nuts, and that’s fascinating.
I got to take my kids to the London eye with no one looking at me like I was Johnny Depp. They did look at me like I was some kind of sicko walking around with beautiful kids, but I had a perfect disguise.
I suppose nowadays it’s all a question of surgery, isn’t it? Of course the notion is beautiful, the idea of staying a boy and a child forever, and I think you can. I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it’s important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it’s great fun growing old.
Breathe. It’s only a bad day, not a bad life.
Why is the RUM always gone.
Crazy people don’t know they’re crazy. I know I’m crazy, therefore I am not crazy. Isn’t that crazy?
If you ever have to choose between loving two people, always pick the second. If you really loved the first, you wouldn’t have fallen in love with the second.
