I'm voraciously looking to express myself in my work. I love my work.

When I was very young I wanted to be a professional horseback rider. Then I wanted to be a pop singer. Then I wanted to be a psychiatrist. Then I wanted to be a movie director.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.

I was just glad to be going to work again.

I just want to tell stories that have an impact on people. Somebody needs to have an impact because people are lost. People are really lost.

I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.

I have this very strange sensitive skin. If I put anything on it but this one product, it erupts into a rash.

I grew up in Europe, and I used to like those very slow-moving European films. I've been contaminated by the American TV culture, and I just want things to move faster now.

Everything I thought about acting and having a movie career has changed from what I thought when I started.

I've never had a manager, and I've had various agents, and, fortunately or unfortunately, I've been blessed.

It will be a great day in this world when nobody wants anything because everyone has given and there is nothing left to take.

I cannot shy away from controversy. I don't know if it's my Irish blood, but I love it.

With the possible exception of having more pleasing lines to the eye while in flight, the monoplane possesses no material advantage over the biplane.

When I needed to think or was really upset, generally I climbed a tree.

I've always followed politics, and I think politics is everybody's business because we're electing someone who's going to be making important decisions that will affect all of our lives.

I consider myself lucky to be an only child because if I had other siblings, my mother would not have been able to take me to every audition and be so supportive of my career.

Life can't give to you if your hands are closed. Open your mind, open your heart, and open your arms.

Sockets are the X windows of IO interfaces.

I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years.

It is not the delicate neurotic person who is prone to angina, but the robust, the vigorous in mind and body, the keen and ambitious man, the indicator of whose engines is always at full speed ahead.
