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

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

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.

I sometimes can't do movies just for the money. I really can't. I mean, I've tried. Believe me, I'd love to just take the money and run.

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

Dear Lover...you are the only man, who never hurt me, but broke my heart.

The reasons that center on others are easy to manipulate. All hollow things are light.

If you are happy then you are the winner in the race we call life.

I guess I'm just fiercely independent.

It is in the treatment of trifles that a person shows what they are.

Much had he read, Much more had he seen; he studied from the life, And in th' original perus'd mankind.

Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me.

The birds and I share a natural history. It is a matter of rootedness, of living inside a place for so long that the mind and imagination fuse.

I owe my success to the fact that I never had a clock in my workroom.

I believe today that there is no film and no shot in a film that is worth a squirrel getting a sprained ankle.
