I have talked to stunt drivers all my life, 32 years of talking to stunt drivers. There's a craziness to them.

I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.

With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.

I think naturally, if you're an actor, there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive, and there's strength and confidence.

You get addicted to emotions. Our endorphins kick in and it's like a high. On the low end you might love roller coasters. On the high end you might be a bank robber or something.

If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star, whatever that means, you might be setting yourself up for failure.

I think it's not a question of why, more a question of why not.

Take a chance. Take a risk. Find that passion and rekindle it. Fall in love all over again. It's really worth it.

If you work hard, you have a better chance of producing something that you're proud of. If you don't, you won't. It's really simple.

Every experience feeds an actor, and I've learned that depression is all around us.

People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy after.

Hard times ain't quit and we ain't quit.

It's funny how we like labels. If I ever have a bookstore, I'm not going to put any labels on the sections.

I think when you're younger, you need to socialize and be with people your own age.

I'm a T-shirt-and-jeans-with-combat-boots guy. And if I don't have to shave, I don't.

The McGovern/McCarthy type candidacies have disappointed too many people, because of a disillusionment with the candidates themselves.

You have to pick the stories that you want to be involved with and the end game is you'd like to be a part of a hit. But I think your moral obligation is to follow your own heart.

It is annoying when people call me Matilda instead of my name when they actually know my name, because you know, we are two different people. But what can you do?

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!

I balanced all, brought all to mind, the years to come seemed waste of breath, a waste of breath the years behind, in balance with this life, this death.
