Nobody's going to say hello to me in the street, really, because there'll be someone a bit more famous coming along the street in a minute. That typifies London, really.

The Scottish are not shy when it comes to expressing themselves.

For me, acting is a series of impressions rather than trying to find one line through to the end, which risks becoming more of a presentation.

Producers and directors think they have the power, but what they think of as the weakest link, the actor, is all-powerful.

My kids stand out at competitions. They're products of me. And you can't come to Beyond Belief and have a flamboyant teacher like me and be basic.

Experience is a great teacher.

I'm, like, finishing up high school. I don't know how you can learn anything from me because I'm still, like, a teenager. I don't know what I'm doing with my life.

When you Google me, you'll find a lot of people don't like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I'm cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent, that we need more civic education. So far there's 100 percent support for that.
