“Well, I was a Madison Avenue man... I was in what we called the 'rat race' and I just got fed up with it and I said, 'I'm going to do what I want to do.' And that's what I did.”

“The parts I have been playing have been very effective. But I am not a villain in my heart. I'm a family man.”

“I've been killed more often than the world's worst matador.”

“I've made a career of being a lovable menace.”

“Actually, I'm a very quiet, gentle person, and I'm a very good father and a very good husband.”

“Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.”
