I’m very much more choosy now. I do stuff that I really, really, really like.
I want to stick around with the big boys. I don’t want to be in the old folks home.
I just work in order to improve myself as an actor which is what I’ve always done.
I wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.
I’m doing the next Batman. I have to become obsessed about what is offered to me.
You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.
I’d never been in one of those great big blockbusters.
I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.
I’m the happiest grandfather in the world, I promise you.
I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.

We should vote for the welfare of the country, not for the welfare of the party.
I don’t have any regrets because I’m very optimistic, and live each day as though it’s the last.

In my day, the drug was alcohol and the weapon was a fist, so it was very sort of innocent and primitive. Now you’ve got drugs, guns, and knives, which are so lethal.
I’m hoping there’s an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
I’ve done a lot of radio in my life so I am absolutely used of working with the voice. I have a very distinctive voice so it’s always great for me because I open my mouth and everybody knows who it is.
I have enough money not to do pictures ever. I’m seventy years old. I don’t want to get up at 6:30 in the morning and learn ten pages of dialogue to do with a bunch of creeps I don’t like. It’s gotta be fun for me.
I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.
I don’t want to be an English actor doing the greatest American accent you’ve ever heard. I want to be an American doing nothing.
