It was like a drama school of its own, being on set. Peter [Jackson] is a genius. Ian McKellen is the greatest theatre actor in Britain. He`s somebody I look at and say, `That`s what I would like to do.` I had studied videos of his performances, so it was...

There`s a side of me that always fell for manic things, frenzied, cartoony performances. I always liked sideshows, freakshows. Jerry Lewis was a freakshow...Absolutely grotesque, awful, tasteless. I like things to be tasteless.

I`m not very comfortable with (watching my performances). When I watch films or tv that I`ve done, I get very restless and tend to not sit still. A lot of actors are perfectionists, besides merely being egotists. So I see what I like to change about my pe...

I always say I`ve given 24 insufficient performances and I`m looking forward to the time in my life when I`ll do something that I think is good. There`s always stuff you can do better, stuff that maybe you didn`t uncover enough. But if you do something th...

[on his acting performances] "It`s a team effort at my home, even when I`m nine time zones away."
Haley Osment

In the beginning an actor impresses us with his looks, later his voice enchants us. Over the years, his performances enthrall us. But in the end, it is simply what he is.
Charlton Heston

I love casting against type and doing things you wouldn`t expect, because I think you get more interesting performances that way. Hollywood loves to pigeonhole people and there`s nothing an actor loves more than to do something different.

There`s a bit in Performance, one of my favourite films - with James Fox giving one of my favourite performances - and there`s a scene where he`s getting ready, and there`s a bit where he arranges his Playboy lighter, and the magazines, and the ashtray, p...

It is all that an actress can hope for. The experience was very organic. I was able to be creative. In comedies, you go for the joke, and embellish. Action films are about action. They`re not about performances.

There are all sorts of reasons why I don`t do much work in the theater, the main one being that after two performances I feel I`ve given all I can. I hate repetition, I really do. It`s like asking a painter to paint he same picture every day of his life.

(Describing why he feels Harold and Maude is a success) I think because it is totally timeless, reveals so much mystery and truth about the big questions of life, and contains two inimitable performances, if I do say so myself. (Though many have tried).

[on Orson Welles] For me he`s just a hoax. It`s empty. It`s not interesting. It`s dead. Citizen Kane (1941), which I have a copy of, is all the critics` darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it`s a total bore. Above all, the performa...

[on watching his early performances] I never go back and watch myself. I`ll see a film when it`s new, maybe twice, but then not for years. If I`m flicking channels on TV and one of them is on, I flick right past it. It`s so hard. If I looked at it I`d go,...
