If I had been with all the women that I was said to have been with, I wouldn't have had the time to shoot a single movie!

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.

After doing One Fine Day and playing a pediatrician on ER, I'll never have kids. I'm going to have a vasectomy.

Peace is a fulltime job. It's protecting civilians, overseeing elections, and disarming ex-combatants. Peace, like war, must be waged.

I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.

Life’s better with company. Everybody needs a co-pilot.

If you don't drink coffee, I am suspicious of your character and will not invite you to my Italian lake home.

I had to stop going to auditions thinking, 'Oh, I hope they like me.' I had to go in thinking I was the answer to their problem.

Failures are infinitely more instructive than successes.

I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film.

How much of your time, at your “hourly rate, ” is wasted each year because you’re cleaning up after your employees and fixing issues they’ve created or haven’t resolved themselves?

We spent 10 years writing our first fiction story and truly hope people like it.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these.

My favorite definition of an intellectual: 'Someone who has been educated beyond his/her intelligence'.

The Free State men, myself among them, took it for granted that Missouri was a slave state.

Men are not given awards and promotions for bravery in intimacy.

If you are going into show business for money and power, forget it! It won't happen. You don't go for that first.

Humanity needs to see these gestures of peace and to hear words of hope and peace!

History is prone to mistakes in identity, and facts are not always solid things.

Never argue with your wife about hostility when she's a certified Freudian.
