I'm not one of those actors who sits around the table and intellectualizing anything, or discusses much of anything. Everything for me is intuitive and instinctive.

You can always find contradictions and hope, in hopeless circumstances, and a sense of redemption in somebody who makes the same mistake, over and over. So far, so good. That's how I put it.

I've just always been a fan of really fringy, outsider things, and I've always been a balloon in the wind, in terms of where that takes me.

I'm not a guy who likes cliches. I don't think that stereotypes and cliches are the end of the line, when it comes to a performance.

Every angle that I looked at was somebody who I admired and was better than me. So it made me very afraid.

I think it's hilarious when middle-aged white men try to take themselves seriously. It makes me laugh.

In my experience, it tends to be a real reflection of someone's intelligence, confidence and sensitivity when they can just be real.

I thought... that we could at least talk about books.

When the tears were gone I washed my face and walked back to the store to finish my shopping. Because even when your heart is breaking you still need bread and Rice Krispies and orange juice.

I'm the type of guy who likes to be there 24-7. I'm Mr. Roses.

Acting is playing - it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.

A lot of people say they love running because of how they feel afterward. Not me. Well, I love that, too, but it's also so much fun while I'm out there.

It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.

Life is tough, but if you are stupid, it's a lot tougher.

The greatest owner in professional sports history is Eddie DeBartolo.
