I'm much more interested in becoming a good man than in becoming a good actor.
As a leading man you don't ask a woman's age, and you don't care about her natural hair colour or her weight.

But to go to bed every night saying to yourself, 'Man, I'm exhausted, but I did a great day's work' it's the best feeling you can have in this planet.
What defies my imagination is that there would be nothing out there that would defy my imagination.

It's only when you try to hide it and subvert it that it manifests itself in ugly ways.
