In my first film, I was a basketball player. Like every good actor, I lied when they asked me if I could play.

I wouldn't mind having another shot at doing comedy, but I'm not sure that's the way I'd want to go.

I'm not sure I always feel like I'm in the seat. Sometimes I'm only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don't know anybody who doesn't feel that way.

I will be always grateful to NBC.

You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.

For a lot of people, if they're lucky, it begins with somebody who recognizes something in them.

I don't care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself.

When you walk on the set, whatever it is, you commit yourself to the job. You're committing yourself to doing the best you can do with it, no matter what you feel about it, and that never changes.

I have so many people who still talk to me about The Long Kiss Goodnight, about that being one of their favorite movies, and it really was a fun movie.

In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.

I don't like talking about myself. I'm not really interested in myself. One of the good things about being a supporting actor is that you get to talk about other people.

I'm cool with myself. If I can't have the body of Angie Bassett, so be it.

Tenderness can be just as abstract as insanity.

I HATED the Salinger story. It took me days to go through it, gingerly, a page at a time, and blushing with embarrassment for him every ridiculous sentence of the way. How can they let him do it?

A few weeks ago we were reminded that other peoples - in particular the United States of America - fought so that we Germans could live in liberty. That we should never forget.

Seek wealth, it's good.

I am nothing but I must be everything.

I too entered the Lager as a nonbeliever, and as a nonbeliever I was liberated and have lived to this day.

Well, let's see: I started [in music] at nine and quit. Then got back to it when I was twelve. Then I became a party star. In fact, I became a party!

In Greek, we do not use just one word for love. We have many words that are specific to each type of love.
