I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.

Unless you look like Brad Pitt, it's really hard to have full control of your character.

Im a character actor, and I made a choice when I was young, after Mystic Pizza, not to go for the mainstream stuff, and to do a more eclectic kind of route.

It's like why people read scary books or go see scary movies. Because it creates a distance. They're scared, but they're not going to get hurt.

This haunting idea of becoming a celebrity doesn't settle well with me at all.

When I was younger I used to pick things just to face the fear.

It's pretty simple, pretty obvious: that people's first impressions of people are really a big mistake.

If you try to go beyond your interests just for the sake of pretensions or wealth, your art becomes less legitimate.

To me the definition of true masculinity - and femininity, too - is being able to lay in your own skin comfortably.

The key is always to speak in your own voice. Speak the truth. That's Acting 101.

I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.

You could not be filled with hate and be beautiful. Like any other girl, I wanted to be beautiful. But I was filled with hate.

A snowflake falls, so tenderly on your lips, I have learned to love this winter.

I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him as the greatest all-time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing.

The thing that drives me more than anything else is being a father.

I hope everyone will feel good about supporting a worthy cause that helps educate people and saves lives while wearing a cool looking shirt that aims to SLAM Diabetes!

The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied.

Sudden love is latest cured.

The way that organizations and organisms anticipate the future is by taking signals from the past, most the time.

Through the sunset of hope, Like the shapes of a dream, What paradise islands of glory gleam!

Probably the sexiest woman I know is my mother.
