To be honest with you, I'd rather not be working. When you work, there are all sorts of deadlines and pressures. I like to do one thing and take my time to do the other one.

I trained as a theatre actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

I won and I get to scream and jump a little. But I got to go back to work tomorrow.

I don't see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.

I've always played the guy with the gun and the knife. That's how many actors start out, playing the bad guy.

Before I was even in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. Rumor was that I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it.

To me the thing with 'Grease' was that it was the first movie that as a kid I wanted to get up and do what they were doing.

The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy.

It depends, because sometimes an action role can be very demanding, and sometimes a dialogue-driven character can be very demanding, and vice versa. It depends.

You might get some serial killers who are born with a chip missing, but for the most part I don't think anyone is born bad.

I'm a fan myself, so when a fan does something that might be strange, I understand it.

It takes a spiritual soldier to maintain salvation.

I define fear as standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early.

I like doing radio because it's so intimate. The moment people hear your voice, you're inside there heads, not only that, you're in there laying eggs.

A group called the Texas Tea Party Patriots is hosting a debate next month where Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain will go head to head, while people watching that will go head to pillow.

When I moved to SF in my early 20s, I loved it, but I was absolutely astonished to discover that people there hated L.A. I was just like why? Really? I had no idea.

All pleasure in the world is a passing dream.

When emulation leads us to strive for self-elevation by merit alone, and not by belittling another, then it is one of the grandest possible incentives to action.

I don't get angry often, but you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that will do it every time. Donald Trump, you're a snivelling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone.

It pays no matter what comes after it, to try and do things, to accomplish things in this life and not merely to have a soft and pleasant time.

Everybody is two beings: one lives and flourishes in the daylight and stands guard. The other being walks and howls at night.
