Thou seest how sloth wastes the sluggish body, as water is corrupted unless it moves.

What makes men indifferent to their wives is that they can see them when they please.

Tears at times have the weight of speech.

Think of Frank Capra and Preston Sturges. They used the same actors over and over again.

Over the years, I’ve been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I’ve tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship...

I don’t do stunts and I don’t think many actors do. For an actor to say they do their own stunts I don’t think is very respectful of the profession of stunt men and women.

There’s show and there’s business. Business is a whole other beat.

When I worked on Altar Boys, they wanted to see us having fun. The four of us would have fun on set and steal each other’s lines, and mess with the director.

I have a much wider, freer view about spirituality. I feel that people need to pursue it on their own, personally. You know, let it be theirs – a personal relationship with their soul, or...

The bottom line is that there is a lot more that could and should be done to help people with nutrition and exercise.

Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way.

You gotta make the movie you want to make.

Allowing yourself to smile takes 99% of the effort.

It is my really sincere desire that we get an opportunity to play long enough for people to really grab on and become fans, because I think it’s a great project.

My problem with interviews, one day I’ll think one thing, and the next day I’ll think the exact opposite.

Once is a man’s life, for one mortal moment, he must make a grab for immorality; if not, he has not lived.

But I’m not particularly comfortable around guns.

Where you raise your children isn’t as important as how you raise your children.

Theater to me is acting but it’s more real on film.

The worst acting is about imitation.

I shot Barton Fink in July and moved out to LA that fall. The movie came out in the spring and it was a year before I got Wings.

I was named Beekeeper of the Year by the Florida State Beekeeping Association.

LSD was designed for you to look inside yourself. Quite a liberating experience if you can pull it off.

I don’t talk about my personal life with the press.

Readers have told me how the mother, daughter, sister relationships resonate for them. They connect with the importance of female relationships.

That is the thing I’m most grateful for in this industry to be able to spin in those different mediums, with television, film and the stage – at this stage of the game.

Actually, we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label. We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records, yet, they treat us...

Teamwork is better than isolation, especially for a columnist.

I mean, the problem is, I think I’m a great writer.

The alternative scene, for a couple years now, has been taken seriously and that’s a cool thing. I don’t think it’s exploded or anything, but I think it’s pretty cool that it still exists, it’s...

Because it’s uncensored cable, I think we’ll be able to do the kind of sketch comedy that really hasn’t been seen before. We can actually finish jokes.

In school, I could hear the leaves rustle and go on a journey.

I want you to take away the hope because that’s the thing that’s killing me.

I think in Vice and American Me I played very silent, rigid characters and people remember them.

You can trust a Neil Simon script. Every dot. Every dash; that pause means something. He takes all the jokes out, practically.

Throughout the course of my life, I’ve been blessed to work with extremely talented people.

It’s fun to be a little bit different in the world, to make a few new trails of your own.

Working with Sturges was like working with a guy who wanted to have a party all the time. He was very serious about his work, but in between shots, he was fun and we would...

I don’t watch television. I’m not a TV guy.

Star 80 changed my life and my career.

I got a part as a chorus girl in a show called Every Sailor and I had fun doing it. Mother didn’t really approve of it, through.

I know I can act. There aren’t too many other jobs I know how to do.

I don’t think you can ever make enough to be set for life. Well, I guess there are limits. In the billions, I guess.

Being a good actor isn’t easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I’m done.

The movies I’ve made at a certain time of my life were exactly right for the stage of my life, the frame of mind I was in at the time. Each character I’ve had to...

But I did have two months off between Loser and the start of Prozac Nation. So, it was supposed to be Jason time, right? My time to enjoy myself away from movies.
