When it happened to us and it was all gone overnight, we said, ‘We are in this together, we are healthy, our children are healthy and we can work’.

As an actor, I’ve always believed we have dark sides to ourselves,

There are very few things that are purely conceptual without any hard content.

My brother is the lifelong musician; he made the choice to do that when we were very, very young kids. I remember him playing in bands and listening to the music he was writing in...

Any idiot can get laid when they’re famous. That’s easy. It’s getting laid when you’re not famous that takes some talent.

I do better on the first three takes; I won’t be better at 20 takes.

I would say invisibility would be sort of a fun power to have just to see what it was like to move through the world and not be looked at.

Having to be a nice guy is the toughest job in the world when you’re not,

I’m always happier and a better actor when I can really lose myself in a character and become somebody else.

I feel like my responsibility as an actor is to make characters as compelling and believable as possible.

She used to never put a hat on or put sunglasses on … which is the first sign of an actor trying not to get recognized, … Now she’s starting to realize that she has...

There’s the most resistance to an actor singing. It’s like I’m being disloyal to my industry.

There are two things that create opportunities. One is being involved with something that makes money, and the other is winning awards. And the reason that winning the awards creates the opportunities is because it...

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...

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...

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...
