I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.

I write a good amount. I've been gathering up a backlog of stuff and maybe I'll do something with it someday, but I don't want to talk about it just yet because that would jinx it.

Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.

I hope I'm remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won't happen.

I don't even get an allowance.

I've led a very isolated existence since I was 6 years old. It's kind of been me and my mind.

I can go to any restaurant without a reservation, but while I'm there, everyone's gonna be staring.

I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.

I lead a simple life. I feed the fish. I walk the dogs. I cook dinner. Occasionally I take a meeting.

The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet..

Doing the things you hate is living in a world of sin. Hell is staying in the place Jesus saved you from. That is, to live on your own, without God.

Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.

I think there has been a great deal of valuable revisionism in women's history.

In practical life the wisest and soundest people avoid speculation.

There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.

The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity.

There will come a day when Anne Heche will be straight again.

It's like reading a book about a life that you will never occupy, but that's the beauty of being transported.

I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them.
