My kind of stuff, … I like all kinds of ethnic foods.

I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views.

My kids don’t watch my movies. What I want to do is go home and hug my kids, talk to them and engage with them.

There’s enough of my rear end already,

I’ve made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It’s melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

I think of myself more as a workhorse actor. It will be hot and cold and up and down, but no one will kick me out of the business.

They had me booked on the ‘Today’ show and they cancelled it because of the NC-17 rating. And I come to find out that none of the other morning shows will have me on.

A River Runs Through It.

We’re retaining a part of the program, but canceling a part we consider to be underutilized.

I don’t have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I’ll do it.

I think of being an actor as kind of a young man’s gig. It’s emasculating, in a way, people messing with you and putting make-up on you and telling you when to wake up and...

Interestingly enough, (a decision of Atom’s) is possibly part of the reason why we’re unable to over-turn this rating because he chose to shoot it in one master,

If I’m in a situation where someone doesn’t recognize me and treats me like everyone else, I’m not used to it.

I want to see the numbers that prove that show-business marriages are any less successful than other marriages. It’s just very public when they fail.

I had done ‘Mystic River’ and ‘The Woodsman’ and they were both internalized characters, characters who could hold an awful lot inside, and I thought it might be cool to go back and do something...

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don’t think that’s only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really...

Veterans Day Polio Telethon.

I don’t read my own reviews and I haven’t for probably 15 years. I read other people’s reviews, though.

I’m a vagabond. I have a suitcase that is ready to go at a moment’s notice. The thought of being in one place for a long time, or playing one character for a long time,...

We’re famous for going to the hotel rooms and actually cleaning them up.

If you’re an actor, even a successful one, you’re still waiting for the phone to ring.

I’ve been in silly movies and romantic movies and historic movies.

As I was coming up on the stage, there was one source that could make or break you, the New York Times. Inevitably there would be one actor singled out for a better review, or...

Part of being a man is learning to take responsibility for your successes and for your failures. You can’t go blaming others or being jealous. Seeing somebody else’s success as your failure is a cancerous...

[Heather McDonald’s thoughtful Broadway drama,] An Almost Holy Picture, … I was at the theater one night and a woman said to her friend, ‘This is a musical, isn’t it?’

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

If you look at films about becoming a man, coming-of-age movies are made with 12-, 16-, 40-, 50-year-olds… For a guy to feel like he’s a 100 percent grown-up is almost like giving up. Like...

We have not yet been able to find a single cause for Gulf War Illness and I don’t think that we’re any closer to thinking that we will find a single cause.

It does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. I don’t know what it’s like any more to be anonymous.

With a lot of actors, you’ve got to chip through the surface to see who the real person is.

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

I don’t watch the movies I make, so I haven’t seen ‘Footloose’ since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it’s pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was...

Before Footloose, the things I’d done weren’t cute. In Diner I was an alcoholic.

I have a natural swagger.

My dad was an architect, and he wasn’t a rich guy, but in our little world in Philadelphia, he was famous. He loved to see his picture in the paper. I wanted to be more...

I’m not as enamored with actors as I am with musicians, especially like these guys, … These are some of my heroes, and to be in the same room listening to them play or to...

L.A. kind of scares me.

There is a lesson there about greed and it is a lesson I am willing to learn as well. Has it made me a distrustful person? I don’t think so. But we probably look a...

Clint Eastwood has always been a hero.

I think one of the most pervasive evils in this world is greed and acquiring money for money’s sake. Once you have six houses and a plane, it’s just about a number. It’s never been...

Career planning is an oxymoron, I find, but I am sort of trying to focus on doing something that’s kind of mainstream.

I just let the work speak for itself. An actor is not afraid to take risks; to put on different hats; to be a good guy, a bad guy, a victim, an abuser. There are...

I’d love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.

It’s called acting,

Ninety-five percent of celebrity is good.

I try to show compassion to people I come into contact with and try to put good out, as much good as I can. But that’s my life; that’s not my work. With my work,...

Critics can be your most important friend. I don’t read criticism of my stuff only because when it’s bad, it’s rough-and when it’s good, it’s not good enough.

I’m obsessed with zombies. I like watching zombie movies and I read zombie books.

There’s an addictive quality to fame and when your celebrity starts to wane, people get a real fear about that, … And that’s why I think sometimes you see people who will put themselves on...

I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I’d like to do it again-I just have to find a story I want to tell.
