I've gotten to portray things in [Christopher Guest's] movies that I wouldn't have in others.

Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.

I watch soap operas. I bake brownies. Normalcy is coursing through my veins.

I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.

I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like

Watch your back, but more importantly when you get out the shower, dry your back. Its a cold world out there.

There is no power or authority without responsibility, and he who accepts the one cannot escape or evade the other.

If you want to make a little money, write a book. If you want to make a lot of money, create a religion.

If you see yourself as a "little sinner" you will inevitably see Jesus as a "little savior".

'Cliffhanger' got me in the best shape of my life, working at 10,000 feet up in the mountains. And everybody was great. I lived in Italy for seven months doing that movie. It was a great vacation.
