I've done so many independents for so many years. Leads that nobody's seen.

I think any good actor is an anarchist. They have to be.

I think people are happier when they have structure, you know? You realize that as you get older. You have to have rituals and structure.

I have memories of films that nobody ever saw, that I was very proud of, and those are still great memories.

I copied everything I did in Galaxy Quest from Bill Paxton in Aliens, I owe him some credit.

I had those kind of parents where I watched all of these very sophisticated movies: 'Five Easy Pieces', 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'

My parents were both actors my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

An editor is like a painter. There is a magic in that.

I have a constant sort of melancholy approach to acting that fuels me. I want to do everything.

I sometimes can't do movies just for the money. I really can't. I mean, I've tried. Believe me, I'd love to just take the money and run.

You hit 41 and you don't burn calories like you used to.

How we choose to deal with pain is ultimately the measure of who we are and of the success we have in closing our gaps.

There is no doubt that our nation's security and defeating terrorism trump all other priorities.

You call it madness, but I call it love.

A country where a man is afraid to criticise another one is no socialist country.

The way you become happy is by realizing that there is no self. No self at all, not a silly millimeter of self. You don't exist. When you know this, you will be happy.

I might dream, but I am no dreamer.

I've been drawing all my life, just as a hobby, without really having shows or anything. It's just an agreeable thing to do, and I recommend it to everybody.

When an artist becomes complacent, he dies.

I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.
