I wanted to do everything. I wanted to be a pilot. I wanted to be a secret agent. I wanted to be a fireman and a doctor, all that. So I related that through movies and stuff.

I grew up on a dirt road with brothers.

I want to stay in Hawaii a little while. I'm kind of liking it over there.

I just didn't have time to deliver a Buffalo accent in a day, so I didn't even try it.

I have three brothers and they're all into computers. They're all intellects. My mother would pay me a quarter a page to read a book and I couldn't make 50 cents. I just couldn't do it.

I did seven indies because the independent market used to be a lot better before all the stars were doing independents. As a beginning actor, that's where you started.

Let me nurture my wings, for I was born to fly.

Always show kindness and love to others. Your words might be filling the empty places in someone's heart.

And I remember quiet evenings trembling close to you...

A photograph is a picture and no more true or false than any other depiction; why is that so hard to comprehend?

It is hard to believe that something that seems so permanent was once so different. Change. I guess that really is one thing you can count on.

The first thing that an architect must do is to sense that every building you build is a world of its own, and that this world of its own serves an institution.

Drink in the beauty and wonder at the meaning of what you see.
