It's never fun having to bulk up for a job on an action film, then lose weight for another role. I don't actually mind working out, but it's the diet: I'm half-French, so I love my food, and boiled chicken breast for breakfast is not my idea of a good meal.

There are dedicated actors and there are people now who only stay famous for putting on weight, losing it, then putting it on again.

I would like to be more fit, but I don't think I will put on fat or gain weight for movie roles. I am not going to do that.

As an actor, a role can be a great excuse not to be in shape. I mean, you wouldn't want to see the Dude with a six-pack, so you eat that Haagen-Dazs. My weight goes up and down.

I've talked to a number of actors who have gained weight for roles, and just the sheer physical toll it puts on one's knees and shoulders - no one wants to do it again. I'm 57 and I don't think I'm going to take on any job or go on vacation again and see to it that I can gain 30 pounds.

If you want to have more options as an actor, you just need to watch your weight, and I've ignored that fact for several years quite happily. Now the chicks have come home to roost.

My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.

If you're an actress, you're always on one diet or another - it's a way of life.

I loved eating and I did put on weight. I never actually felt fat until I started going for castings, for auditions.

I had spent my entire career not wanting to talk about weight, not wanting to deal with it, wanting to be an actor first.
