• I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.
• I've got no need to prove to myself that I can do Shakespeare. I've done it.
• I am able to play monsters well. I understand monsters. I understand madmen.
• I love life because what more is there.
• I don't consciously try to be a role model, so I don't know if I am or not. That's for other people to decide.
• Life isn't worth living if I miss an episode
• I have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
• I was lousy in school. Real screwed up. A moron. I was antisocial and didn't bother with the other kids. A really bad student. I didn't have any brains. I didn't know what I was doing there. That's why I became an actor.
• Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.

• I was in North London, I remember, doing a play, and the news came through that Robert Kennedy had been assassinated. I thought, 'The world has completely gone insane.'
• I almost missed the part because I forgot to read (the script),
• [In September, Gwyneth Paltrow reprises her role in the award-winning play] Proof ... Shakespeare in Love.
• I don't look like him; I'm Welsh and have a rugby player's build. Burt was long and sinewy, but that was OK. He said [in the documentary] he liked having pretty ladies about, and I thought that was the essence of the guy. He enjoyed life.
• Sometimes you get as little as 25 percent.
• I said, 'I can't play Nixon. I'm not an American.
• The World's Fastest Indian? Oh, that's not for me. I've done enough with that role.
•I've had the great fortune to work with many great directors [and] great actors, and I just want to thank them.
• Everyone today is so laid-back and cool and it's kinda boring, but Tom is the opposite of that
• This industry has been really good to me. It's been a great life. I'm not through yet. I'm ready when you are, Mr. DeMille.
• I still don't know what the film was about because all I remember is a whole lot of technical dialogue about a body in a suitcase
• When I became an actor my dream was ... to come here to Hollywood. You know Hollywood is a state of mind ... it's synonymous with a dream factory.
• Well, it's mission impossible, Mr. Hunt -- not mission difficult.
• I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.
• Just because I went buggers, doesn't mean you will. This stuff is not strictly hereditary, they know that now. Listen to me, you're going to be OK.
