I think creativity is spiritual. I absolutely believe that.
The idea that you can make love and not war really is pretty neat. That thing in Korea, the thing in Israel - that's all over the world. There must be a new way of thinking.
I really like to experiment. That's the only way I can work. It's instinctive.
I was a hoodlum. I was a gang member, and art saved my life.
I'm not going to just say nice things about everybody unless I mean it.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't know if you'd call him a great actor, but he's amazing in terms of his presence, and he is interesting enough that you want to watch him.
People desire power. I don't know why they want it so. It seems to me it implies a hugely superior intellect which separates them from most of the populace.
There are certain men and women who, from the minute they step in front of a camera, that's exactly where they belong. Connery's one.
All the stuff that you visualized that was going to work so beautifully, you discover is trashed, so you jump to something else.
Milos said, You're my first choice. From my point of view, that doesn't pay the rent. I said, Tell me what I have to do next because I'm busy painting my kitchen.
I acted my heart out.
As much preparation as I had made for the old man Salieri, gestures and so on, the fact is after sitting for hours, your movements are kind of slow.
I'd like President Bush to think maybe there's another way to think, that maybe Kissinger was wrong when he says we had to go in there because he was wrong about Vietnam.
I'm just having a wonderful time. It's an interesting thing that I'm very comfortable with this material and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I did MacBeth.
Whenever there were parties, I wasn't invited because I began to be like that character. In a way, that contributed to the success of the performance.
I don't want to talk in terms of miracles. I think this is a very serious situation. But I do want to talk in terms of Bush becoming a man of the hour, and I think this is way to do it.
The difficulty is capturing surprise on film.
I love parties. I love a good time.
I'm a very proud actor.
With Connery, he does act. He is in complete command. He completely trusts the person first, then the instrument. I've worked with his son also, on a picture in Russia.
I have two brothers buried in the military cemetery in Texas. I don't want to see any more of that.
Suddenly I was the man who got the part that every actor in the English language was trying to get. I was really scared. I had talked the talk, and now I had to walk the walk. For three days, I couldn't answer the phone.
I'd like President Bush to get a gun in his hands. I'll go with him. I can't think of anything better than to die in places just beginning their lives.
I trust that the president will try, just give it one more shot, some revolutionary way of not doing this, of bringing all those kids back home safely.
Woody Allen sets are very quiet. Extraordinary sense of power from a man who doesn't do anything except just stand there.
