A lot of lines in movies were written, but I'm always improvising. Once you get into the scene, it just comes to me.

Making people laugh is giving, and it's healing, too, when people can go up to the movies and forget about their problems. It's a good thing. That's why I want to work.

You loan your friend money. You see them again, they don't say nothin' 'bout the money. 'Hi, how ya doin'? How's ya mama doing?' Man, how's my money doin'?

It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak.

The preparation, commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger.

An mp3 is a compressed form of data. It's not the full spectrum. It's never going to sound as good as a record.

Fortunately in my work there's always a choice: I can choose to do it willingly or unwillingly.
