I don't really worry so much about image. I try to just live my own life, my personal life, to my own sense of morality. In terms of the kinds of characters that I play, well, they could be anything.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.

I have a natural swagger.

There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous and those who are liars.

Before Footloose, the things I'd done weren't cute. In Diner I was an alcoholic.

I always wanted, and still aspire, to be something more than just one thing, just one performance.

Everybody's got bills to pay. Sometimes you see people just go straight for the money, and that's disappointing.

Football: A sport that bears the same relation to education that bullfighting does to agriculture.

I have come to understand what being a public person means. I don't let things I can't do anything about bother me.

You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.

I feel like I haven't done my best work yet.

We didn't have a generation gap, we had a generation Grand Canyon.

When I left school I was full of angst, like any teenager, and I channeled it all into comedy.
