Jack Nicholson

I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.

If you get an impulse in a scene, no matter how wrong it seems, follow the impulse. It might be something and if it ain't - take two!

I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.

I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life - to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
