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.

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.

The journey has been incredible from its beginning.

I got nice rejections explaining that historical fiction was a difficult sell. But I kept trying.

I’d rather say no and have said no and do say no often. I walk away from projects if it doesn’t feel right; if it’s not the right team of people pulling in together or...

Black history is American History.

Hopefully people can look at our band and see that we’re a heavy rock band. We’re definitely not a metal band, but we’re a band that focuses on meaningful lyrics and melody.

When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.

Through all the relationship stuff I’ve gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures.

I’m a lousy reader.

If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

To some it may be a thrill to be known, to me it’s a thrill to start a friendship even up.

I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in.

At the rate we’re going, the 21st century looks pretty clear. It’s going to be pretty violent.

I think you can tell the human condition better through comedy.

I only am in this business because I enjoy it. I think that is the only way to be in the business.

In movies, I have had the opportunity of working with some of the people that I respect very much.

But the thing about bad guys is that they have the biggest bosomed blond, they have great clothes and cars, and get great death scenes.

I’ve been close to Bette Davis for thirty-eight years – and I have the cigarette burns to prove it.

Acting is everybody’s favorite second job.

When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman’s part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors...

You’ve got Corey Feldman doing his thing, and the problem is, they’re trying to be pop stars. You can’t compare Salty to any of the other actors out there playing music.

I pretty much stick to the movie-based games. I play James Bond games and Minority Report and Spider-Man. I go for the big title hit movie games.

Even as a small child I never felt that I should have to compete with anyone – even my older brother.

We all had our reservations about possibly overdoing it but, you know, the script was great. Basically it stuck to the formula that worked for the first two movies, and for that reason I think...

There are so many things about playing football that seem to me uniquely American. Anybody can succeed, anybody can play, but you’ve got to work hard to do it.

Just trying to get a film made which is always difficult no matter what kind of a budget you have. Not having a budget makes it even more difficult. Having nineteen days and no budget...

I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor, the challenge of tapping into that, reaching down into that sadness or anger, is very therapeutic.

I’m grateful to have had this, even if I felt that some of my work as an actor was better, like on The Detectives. It’s not as remembered.

Some of the pictures I must say every now and then I just think are going to be funny. When it gets that much, you might as well just pull out all the stops and...
