At my age, to still be able to do parts that are super physical, I'm lucky. I'm doing more fun stuff now than I ever have in my life. I'm just really fortunate.

The hard part about playing 'chicken' is knowing when to flinch.

In my life, all of the best things that have happened to me have almost invariably been accidents or fate.

I'm sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.

They say God looks after kids and idiots, and I think actors are probably a combination of the two.

Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished.

A meeting moves at the speed of the slowest mind in the room. (In other words, all but one participant will be bored, all but one mind underused.)

The world could be fixed of its problems if every child understood the necessity of their existence.

The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors; they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating.

In the past few years I have begun the process of becoming a new man.

History may not repeat, but it often rhymes.

It's really scary when you have a moment of temporary sanity.

I come from a family of fishermen. Fishing is very important to us. We don't hunt. We're not gun folk.

In '71 or '72 I returned to New Orleans and stayed there. I started cooking Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked, it was the best-and it was my heritage.

Do all that you can do in a perfect manner every day, but do it without haste, worry or fear. Go as fast as you can , but never hurry.
