Acting was something that just came along. But I made good money, so it wasn't something I was just going to put aside and pretend it didn't exist.

Society questions the police and their methods, and the police say: 'Do you want the criminals off the street or not?'

I seem to have a knack for picking movies that go on to be cult favorites.

If I see one side of somebody, I want to see the other side.

I wasn't really serious about acting - I was serious about baseball

I'm a libertarian. I think a lot of people are libertarians and are afraid to admit it - or don't know.

There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either in or out. There's no such thing as a life in between.

Take what you need, do what you should, you will get what you want.

When the curtain falls, the best thing an actor can do is to go away.

Would it not be strange if a universe without purpose accidentally created humans who are so obsessed with purpose?

Whoever declares another heretic is himself a devil. Whoever places a relic or artifact above justice, kindness, mercy, or truth is himself a devil and the thing elevated is a work of evil magic.
