Well, I’ve thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don’t know what I’d do.

I’m too young for Medicare and too old for broads to care.

The less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.

I would never do crack… I would never do a drug named after a part of my own ass, okay?

One of the scary things is that, when you’re a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you’re an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that...

Basically, I think that there are some characters that you can just allow the truth of your character as a human being in your real life to come through.

I used to work, part time, in a deli, in those days when your parents made you work just so you should know what work was like. And you’d make 4, 5, 6, ten dollars.

I was chased through a chateau in the Loire Valley by a bunch of American school girls.

Anyone who still supports George Bush would still let Michael Jackson babysit their kids.

Business has to change the way it does business, or we will make no significant changes in the way we relate to the earth.

Violence is used to portray what happens in a film. It only helps portray the actors and what they do. I think it is more about the story, when you have something to play off...

It is a different genre-a show about something other than doctors, lawyers and cops. Teachers are something completely different. I think it makes for very interesting television.

I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.

Ford didn’t know what to do with Mister Roberts that wasn’t repeating what was successful in New York. He was trying to do things to the play that would be his in the film.

Age is the first limitation on roles that I’ve ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.

I think that’s what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human....

Even though the museums guarding their precious property fence everything off, in my own studio, I made them so you and I could walk in and around, and among these sculptures.

I think games are starting to branch out. It’s not just guys sitting at their computer stations. Games are so fun, that everybody gets into them a little bit.

The show has brought a lot of pleasure and entertainment to an entire generation of Baby Boomers and now their own teens who watch the show on cable.

Well, I’m never happier than when I’m acting.

Acting with Denzel is like playing tennis with someone that’s better than you. You either play better tennis or get blown off the court.

So It’s not like I go from being this disciplined person who has to get up and go to work to now I just lay around all day in my underwear eating Cheerios. I have...

I’d always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.

I’m not a great science fiction fan myself. I probably feel that way about Westerns. Like I used to play Cowboys and Indians, they can act out Will and the Robot.

The imagery is getting a little more enigmatic. I’d like to think that it’s getting a little more evocative without being more narrative.

Walt Disney was not a merchant of sadness.

Knowing what it means to sometimes have a ton of money, and sometimes have no money and have to come up on-the-fly with something.

When you arrive at the set, you go from one rehearsal to the next and you struggle to get your lines out correctly and hit your marks.

People are slow to claim confidence in undertakings of magnitude.

Against the bold, daring is unsafe.

Envy aims very high.

In our leisure we reveal what kind of people we are.

I find it sad that by not talking about who I sleep with, that makes me mysterious. There was a time when I would have been called a gentleman.

I’m hosting weekend retreats all over America. It is like a 24-hour slumber party for moms. We laugh, eat, play games, get massages, win prizes, talk about parenting and even cry a bit.

And now after all this time I finally figured out how to trap him… I will become him.

I would say that one of the things that we are proud of is that we are attracting very interesting guest stars. One is Tyne Daly, who has done a wonderful job.

The most frustrating thing for me as a singer is that people have pinpointed me as an actress who suddenly woke up one day and decided that I wanted to sing.

That was my aspiration, so I was there in a seminary with just boys who were studying to be priests. Pretty rigorous schooling; we never got home, we stayed there all year.

Kazan was an old friend, I met him in 1938. He picked up radio jobs for eating money, so I met him on a couple of radio shows. Later on I was in a play...

I would rather just do the things I want to do.

I got tackled once in a movie theater. I was with my mom and brother, and then suddenly I got hit from behind and sort of sprawled out on the candy counter.

The problem I have with making an intelligent statement is that some people then think it’s not an isolated occurrence.

I didn’t even go to my prom. I didn’t have one date in high school.

Over a long period of time, living as if you were someone else is no fun.

What I’m trying to do now in my life – not just with the building, but with everything – is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won’t just be ephemeral flashes in...

I’ve been in this business for a long time at my age, I’ve just turned 30, and I feel like my wife’s career is going incredibly well, my kids are happy and healthy in schools,...

And I had a lot to play, which is what you want as an actor.

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.
