"Somebody's gonna give you some money to perform a job, you do your best to make 'em a good hand... "
"It's no mean calling to bring fun into the afternoons of large numbers of people. That too is part of my job, and I'm happy to serve when called on."
"My thanks to the Academy for the very finest, greatest award that any actor can ever receive. The only thing a man can say at a time like this is -- I am not really bald."
"Both my mother and my father used to go to honky-tonk bars to do what everybody in that part of Texas did - drink. I'd wait for them outside in the car, alone. I remember hearing music and singing coming through the walls of the saloon to me in the car. I remember lying there, just waiting, just waiting, alone."
"People who will suggest that the American motion-picture audience is dumb are sadly mistaken. Americans are not dumb. We don't read enough books; we may watch too much television. But these people are not idiots. So that's why I say that even if you're not dealing with a formula situation - formula story, formula plot - you have a responsibility to make it new and different and stimulating."
"It's something to do with these heavy eyebrows", he once said when accused of being difficult, "so if I'm not smiling then I tend to look intimidating."
"Living with and by my imagination is what it takes to make me feel clean and healthy."
"I would have to become uncomfortably self-analytical to find various turning points. "The Fugitive" was awfully good for business. And I think it was a good day somewhere around 1975 when I quit that soap opera. But, really, from my point of view, every day that I've spent working is a good one."
"Irony I have a pretty good grasp of but not humour."
"I've discovered that the secret to comedy is to work for a director who knows everything about it; a man like Barry Sonnenfeld. Once you do that all you have to do is stand next to Will Smith. He's going to be funny. And if you stand there long enough, people think you're funny too."
