You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something.

I’ll be honest with you: not a chance in this world. But you know, stranger things have happened.

We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists… in the loved one, perfection.

I learned quite quickly that there were places I couldn’t go, that I would be questioned if I wandered into various neighborhoods.

It’s insane but it’s a great insane.

Flying back from New York, the flight attendant said ‘God, I wished you were here yesterday, we had a stroke on the plane. I said, if I have a stroke on a plane, I hope...

You never know how things will last, if they will last, and how people will use them in the future. It was a fun movie for young people at the time in the 80s; but...

That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really, we...

I have a spiritual advisor I call up, when I just feel lost. Lately, I’ve been talking to God. I developed this dialogue in rehab, this dialogue with God, and every day I talk to...

If it helps me in the way that if this movie is successful, I get to make more films, great, and the more films that I make and the more interest that I’m allowed to...

It’s nice that the independent scene is taken seriously, and has been.

Jerry Weintraub, the producer, might be a pain in the ass, but he really knows how to treat his actors.

I’m not done with acting but do find my hands full with my current responsibilities. Soon, sometime soon.

Here take back the stuff that I am, nature, knead it back into the dough of being, make of me a bush, a cloud, whatever you will, even a man, only no longer make me.

People think celebrities don’t have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It’s like you’ve traveled to this Land of Celebrity, this other country. They want you to tell about what...

You know, Hillary Clinton gives of herself. Princess Diana gave of herself. But they are not saints.

People can be a hoot on the set, but if they’re not good to work with, that tires very quickly.

I write, but I also act.

I’m just trying to let everything lie and grow right now, I’m not going to pressure myself to do anything that it’s right for the time.

When I was a kid, we never heard of smog, ozone depletion, acid rain, green house gasses.

It’s just a campy blast. I just want to do as little as I can and make it good, and try not to sell out. I’m sure I will, but I’m just trying to postpone...

My mother told me I was begging her to be an actor when I was four. My father and my grandfather saw at least one or two movies a week; they were film buffs, so...

I think golf is a waste of time and a waste of a sunny afternoon. I also stink at it. I have never found anything, including divorce and a sexual harassment suit, more frustrating.

A star on a movie set is like a time bomb. That bomb has got to be defused so people can approach it without fear.

In other words, I wouldn’t like to be an actor if I could only be real. I like to get wild, behaviorally wild, and it’s crazy to think of any form where it’s just one...

Sorry dude, but we’re in a boxing match and you went against your word and tried to make me look weak and stupid in front of 17 million people. That’s just not gonna happen.

In truth, making films doesn’t feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.

You can never spend enough time with children.

I’ve heard every pie joke in the book. I’m still waiting for an original one.

Our firefighters are our last line of defense, baby.

Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.

I didn’t get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.

Demi Moore is a terrific woman and a hell of an actress.

I think there are a lot of pictures to make. I sometimes question whether I’m even an artist or just a painter. To me, the making of the pictures is the most important thing.

In the case of Five-O, I believe it was a combination of many ingredients – timing, chemistry, Hawaii.

My nomadic childhood dramatically fed my eventual decision to be an actor, but not in the way you might think.

I like to work fast.

I’m doing naughty things, I’m drinking too much, I’m going to clubs. It really didn’t matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn’t let their kids hang out with me.

Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be fish.

Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these.

Endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by.

I’ve worked with Robert Altman a couple of times too.

I’m lucky if I find one movie a year that’s worth doing, and when I do find one, it usually only takes 20-30 days to shoot.

For lack of any clearer idea, I just started acting one day. It had been in the back of my head for a while, but I think in some ways I was afraid to do...

I spend 90 percent of my time saying no, and my accountant yells at me for it, but when I started in this business, I wanted my career to have legs.

I shut up and keep my ears and eyes open.

I don’t really think of Odo as a heroic lead, but that’s nice if you do.

Where’s my food? When is it coming? What did I order, anyway?

But James Gandolfini and Edie Falco, they did such great work, especially in the last show.

My partner, Beth Alexander, and I want to produce smaller films, but commercially viable films that will enable me to make the kinds of movies I want to make.
