There's a great difference between being popular and being an artist.

I did the occasional odd film, like Endless Love.

Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.

Hollywood -- that's where they give Academy Awards to Charlton Heston for acting.

The only people you can really share certain things with in secret are your girlfriends.

The thing that separates a so-so director and a great director is a love and caring for film.

They said this is Vanity Fair, and I said, Oh, I already take the magazine. They said Annie Leibovitz wants to take your picture and I thought, How nice!

I have a Kenwood charcoal grill. In our house, if anybody is cooking, it's me. I love making burgers. I love making pork tenderloin. Lamb chops I do on the grill a lot. But you just can't beat brats.

I am a very private person. No one ever knows anything about me as I don't think it is necessary. I tell people as much as I want them to know about me.

That agony returns; And till my ghastly tale is told, This heart within me burns.
