I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film.

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.

After doing One Fine Day and playing a pediatrician on ER, I'll never have kids. I'm going to have a vasectomy.

Peace is a fulltime job. It's protecting civilians, overseeing elections, and disarming ex-combatants. Peace, like war, must be waged.

I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.

Life’s better with company. Everybody needs a co-pilot.

If you don't drink coffee, I am suspicious of your character and will not invite you to my Italian lake home.

I had to stop going to auditions thinking, 'Oh, I hope they like me.' I had to go in thinking I was the answer to their problem.

The truth of the matter is the real story are the people who rise above all of this incredible cruelty. Otherwise that cruelty wins.

Failures are infinitely more instructive than successes.

I'm really white trash.

The excitement of dreams coming true is beyond the description of words.

I live in the present due to the constraints of the time-space continuum.

To die famous is the goal of the immortal. To die young is the goal of the healthy. To die memorably is the goal of the survivor.

That which we are, we are.

France: As a professional journalist, I like the idea of a society where it is considered an acceptable occupation to basically sit around and drink.

I am happy to see that, increasingly, people care about farm workers. There is tremendous interest in where and how our food is grown.

I have some good stories yet to tell.

Their objective is to get to the outskirts of Baghdad. So be it.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

For me, dreaming is simply being pragmatic.
