I'm rarely asked to play the smartest man in the room.

Any actor who tells you that they have become the people they play, unless they’re clearly diagnosed as a schizophrenic, is bullshitting you.

My favorite meal would have to be good old-fashioned eggs, over easy, with bacon. Many others, but you can't beat that on a Sunday morning, especially with a cup of tea.

You choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.

I enjoy playing characters where the silence is loud.

I had a guitar when I was 6 or 7, a plastic guitar with the Beatles' faces on it. It would be a collector's item now. It would fetch a hefty sum, I imagine.

My passion and energy get mistaken for anger.

Reality TV to me is the museum of social decay.

We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there.

Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead, you're really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour.

I applaud anything that can take a kid away from a PlayStation or a Gameboy. That is a miracle in itself.

Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.

I create my own heartbreaks!

No story ever looks as bad as the story you've just bought no story ever looks as good as the story the other fellow just bought.

Yoga's hard for me, but I know you can really feel the difference when you do it consistently. I'd rather be playing basketball.

I only ever worked on interiors, and an interior is an interior. I don't know what they did about exteriors.

The Lives of Great Men are more oft' at variance with their profess'd Phillosophies than consistent with 'em.

I don't want to force my politics on my readers.

Every scar in my face is worth it.

As time goes on, I realize more and more that, beginning in the early 30's, David Smith began setting the precedent for what was to come later for many of us.

I've never felt a desire (and I don't believe I ever shall) to bring the public to my work... a certain popularity seems to me the least desirable of things.
