At some point in my career, I was thinking, "Why am I not a star? Why am I not Brad Pitt? Why am I not Tom Cruise?"

I have a lot of appetites and try to revel in almost everything, so inspiration can even come from a well-appointed submarine sandwich, you know?

Just so we're clear, I'm not zen by any stretch of the imagination. However, what I've read about change being the only constant is a concept that I can grab onto and have used quite a lot.

I'm so blessed to have been a working actor. If they still would like to make me a superstar, I'm available, but so far, being a working actor has been great. It's taken me everywhere.

When jobs come up, like a low-budget film like The Last Exorcism, you say yes and you see where it takes you.

What refuge is there for the victim who is oppressed with the feeling that there are a thousand new books he ought to read, while life is only long enough for him to attempt to read a hundred?

Faith activates inner strength and universal power to help you in your endeavors.

We are tethered to our kind, and may as well join hands in the struggle.

I don't care how good a song is. If it holds back the storyline, stalls the plot, your audience will reject it.

A good friend remembers what we were and sees what we can be.

To succeed in life, we must stay within our strength zone but continually move outside our comfort zone.

The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn't any.

Employers love cheap labor, but a country should train its own people.

After years of hotels, I'm horribly inept at cleaning up after myself.
