It's a very wonderful yet difficult thing to be given a lot of really good opportunities and the world is at your fingertips.

My objective is to be among the best.

I am passionately devoted to the study of life, and particularly to the higher forms of life.

It's a really wonderful thing to focus your life on something other than your own personal career and ambition.

My philosophy all my life has been the pursuit of excellence.

It's interesting, winning an Academy Award as a young man... life-changing, but I'm just me within that. It's been very helpful for my career, but I'm trying to stay on the path I was on before.

My life and my happiness is most important to me than any job or anything in the world.

I really appreciate that: to walk into an environment where everyone is serious and dedicated to creating the best performance possible and challenging themselves to figure out the most interesting way to approach the work.

My career has had a lot of ups and downs, but basically it has been wonderful.

That excites me, working with really excellent people, be it wonderful directors or actors or cinematographers and especially writers. My work life is going to a set and having these great experiences and coming home shifted by them.
