I mean, you know, actors lives - you're forgotten. Look at Barrymore, and look at all the great actors. They're forgotten after awhile.

People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything!

For an actor to have a role that they're recognized and remembered for over the years, it's unusual. It's very lucky if it happens once - and it's luck that it's happened to me a couple of times.

People forget that the more we know about the world - about people, cultures, and about life - the stronger we are as actors because the more we can bring to our characters.

Really, for an actor, it's all about remembering a lot of stuff - and keeping the moustache on.

You know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.

There are so many things from movies that are remembered, that are just looks on people's faces or incredible vistas or beautiful pictures. That is a very important part of cinema.

I think a lot of people want to be remembered the way they were, as opposed to the way they are now.

Hollywood is great for entertaining people, it's a wonderful business but it's make-believe, you must remember that. That's one of the most important things to remember and the distinction in your own life, otherwise people get lost in their own fame, and it makes them unhappy.

It's so easy to become obsessed with the film industry and recognition that we can forget that we are not saving the world. We are just actors trying to entertain people.
