If one thing that bothers me about acting, it's that there's no clear-cut number one. The closest you can get is winning an Academy Award, and I'm going to work on that if it takes me the next 50 years. To my peers, it will mean that I'm the best!
I'm proud of doing 'Long Day's Journey into Night,' for which I won an ACE award.
I was in the 'Alvin and the Chipmunk' movie, which was a real bucket list item.
I was thrilled to win a Tony in 2005 for 'Spamalot'.
When audiences start calling you by your character's names, your job is done!
When I did 'Think Like A Man', I would run into people who were acting like it was the first thing I'd ever done. I was at the premiere of 'Think Like A Man,' and people were coming up to me, like, 'Man, you're going to get work after this, bruh.'
I was very disappointed that Denzel didn't win Best Actor for The Hurricane because I thought he deserved it.
You can't, or you shouldn't, be nominated for an Oscar unless you've turned in a performance that's special.
I'm as proud of my work in 'Madoff' as anything I've ever done. Richard Dreyfuss turned in a bravura performance. It went unnoticed.
It's like a badge of honour if you're a British actor and you get the 'Harry Potter' call. It meant a lot to me.
Every once in a while as an actor, you do something that the kids really like.
Every actor wants to win an Oscar, full stop. It doesn't mean you try to design things around how to accomplish that because that's impossible.
My biggest accomplishment was playing 'Lark' on the daytime drama Port Charles because it was the most regular acting job I have had, and I had to step in and fill someone else's shoes.
I know one thing; I'll never win an Academy Award.
The year I got into The Actors Studio, Steve McQueen and I were the only two accepted that whole year.
I'd say my happiest moment as an actress came when I learned I'd won the Look Magazine Best Supporting Actress Award for 1956 in The Killing.
'Soul Plane' put me in a position to succeed. I'm glad I had the opportunity to be the lead man.
I may act in many more films in the future, but 'Baahubali' will be the best in my career.
When I won the Cesar, I was, first of all, an actor. I have to say, it's humanity first. That's the future. We have to stop seeing the skin color. I believe that's the most powerful way to change mentalities and behavior.
I love political cartoons from the 19th century, and whenever I complete a piece of acting work that I'm particularly proud of, be it a film or play, I treat myself to a picture by caricaturist James Gillray.
For people to even think that I'd be considered or a good candidate for a supporting actress nomination is mind blowing to me.
I gave John Wayne the push he needed to get that Oscar.
I feel like acting is something I've been working towards longer. And it would be great to win a Grammy, of course, but for some reason, an Oscar speaks more to me.
My break in Bollywood is definitely the high point of my life.
I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a supporting part. If I don't win, I'll just wait until I'm nominated for being in the theater during the show. Do they have one like that?
