I rarely do autograph shows. Maybe two or three a year. Just to keep my price up. Also I've got too much other stuff to do. I have to teach Renaissance art.

The goals are not about the sweet smell of success as much as it's about enjoying a damn day on the movie set... I live in a complete state of grace.

My career was always full of risks one way or another, and that's the way I like it.

The best reason to go to the movies is to be with other people. Eating the popcorn, being with other people you don't know.

It's not good to meet you heroes. The humanity in them or the a**hole in them will bring it down. And you don't want to do that.

Art has absolutely changed my life.

If you've got kids you know you've only got one prayer: "Let my kids outlive me." That's the bottom of everything.

I'm just gonna be real grateful to be on any freaking movie set for the rest of my life.

I went to North Texas State, one of the great jazz schools. When I realized I wasn't going to be Miles Davis, I switched my major to English and theater.

Television is an isolating experience, sadly enough. I'm sorry to say it. But as good as it ever gets, it's still isolating. You sit in your home and visit with no one.

I'm finishing my Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance history.

I wake up everyday with an intention of delivering my masterpiece... nothing less

The wilderness is a place for spiritual rebirth.

We evolve at the rate of the tribe we are plugged into.

Failure either breaks people or it makes them succeed.

Paris is where my family are, but it's not really home now because I have dear friends in London and dear friends in New York.

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.

I’ve never really socialized, I’ve always been anti-social and preferred to be at home. I was never, even my late teens and early twenties, into clubs and parties and stuff like that.

If you don't care about what people think, you already passed the first step of success.

When you're sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.

Yeah I live of my music. Why does everyone ask me that? Is my music that absurd that nobody could possibly be buying it?
