I copied everything I did in Galaxy Quest from Bill Paxton in Aliens, I owe him some credit.

I think any good actor is an anarchist. They have to be.

I think people are happier when they have structure, you know? You realize that as you get older. You have to have rituals and structure.

I have memories of films that nobody ever saw, that I was very proud of, and those are still great memories.

I had those kind of parents where I watched all of these very sophisticated movies: 'Five Easy Pieces', 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'

My parents were both actors my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

An editor is like a painter. There is a magic in that.

I have a constant sort of melancholy approach to acting that fuels me. I want to do everything.

I've done so many independents for so many years. Leads that nobody's seen.

You hit 41 and you don't burn calories like you used to.

Writers begin with a grain of sand, and then create a beach.

I feel therefore I am.

One hundred eighty days, Aislinn. Seth's been gone for one hundred eighty days, and I've watched you try to pretend it doesn't hurt for every one of them. Can't I try to make you happy?

I could never live happily in Africa-or anywhere else-until I could live freely in Mississippi.

No one can know what happiness is if you have not gone through the disappointmentOne can only savor the victory if he has felt the bitter defeat.

I had dropped out of school and was a runaway, so I didn't have family to fall back on if I didn't work. I didn't have a lot of other options of making money other than modeling.

I'm just saying I'm being myself, and people understand that.

There are many things given to us in this life for the wrong reasons. What we do with such blessings, that is the true test of a man.

It's a funny semantic turn - when someone paints a landscape, no one says they "borrowed" it, only that they painted it.
