I don't want to stop acting, but acting in some ways is a young man's game.

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.

A good director creates an environment which gives the actor the encouragement to fly.

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.

One word can turn into a book just as one poem should never be overlooked.

The man who fails to give fair service during the hours for which he is paid is dishonest. The man who is not willing to give more than this is foolish.

The truly frightening flaw in humanity is our capacity for cruelty - we all have it.

I know he would die if you died, Luce

We are vulnerable if we can be taken by a wave of emotion, invaded by an invidious impulse, roughed up by resentment, or engulfed by a surge of selfishness.

I don't go to see many comedies anymore, because I guess it feels like another day at the office.
