I've learned my lesson over the years about what to say and what not to say in interviews, that's for sure.

Kids are a great excuse for you to stop acting like one.

Encourage your kids' artistic side. Toughen up everything else.

I don't have a boss . . . nobody tells me what to do.

Children recognize me from Free Willy (1993), and their parents recognize me from Reservoir Dogs (1992). The kids are, like, "There's Glen!" and the parents are, like, "Don't go near that guy!"

Is it really selling out if it feeds your family?

You kids shouldn't play so rough . . . somebody's gonna start crying.

Well, one thing for sure, I won't be remembered for 'Free Willy.' Or maybe I will.

Your children don't have to fear you to respect you.

I don't think I'm predominantly thought of as being a comedic actor.

When you play a character that's someone real, when you're playing a true story, it's really great, 'cause you're not pretending to make up some silly thing.

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

Wouldn't it be ironic if everyone who got a radio up and running just sat around waiting for everyone else to transmit a message?

Sometimes, watching a movie is a bit like being raped.

I feel funny about owning art. I don't really want to say: "Wow, come and see my Monet - it's in a dark room at the bottom of my cellar."

I think it's important to have a consistent communication with the fans but I don't think it should be expected.

... artists were intended to be an ornament to society. As a society in themselves they are unthinkable.

If ancient descent could confer nobility, the lower forms of life would possess it in a greater degree than man.

All is egotism. The only people whose mainspring is not egotism are the dead and perhaps idiots.

I think that charity is a tricky thing, because a lot of times, people equate charity with handouts. I don't believe in handouts.

You are as strong as you think you are, you can achieve things you think you can achieve, its all in your head
