One of the funny things in life to me is a guy who takes himself very seriously.

I learned a long time ago: You're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

I have a home in Arizona. I go a couple months a year, but basically Chicago is my home.

I wanted to do Buddy Faro as a small budget movie. They said no. So I wanted to do it as a series of recurring TV movies, and they said no. So I agreed to do it as a series.

You cant act for the editing. You just go in and do the scene the way you think is right.

You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.

I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that's just not the case.

As far as carrying the American banner, you just do what's right for the kids.

I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?

When I was a kid going to the movies, we'd go because Bogart was in the movie, or Cagney, or John Wayne. We didn't know what the story was about or anything.

Do whatever you're directed to do, and leave the rest of that technical stuff up to the director.

Hope is a little candle that continues to flicker in the heart in the darkest moments of impossibility.

For some folks fate has set countless falls and a fewer loves. If they farewell faith, then, farewell their chance of lifelong happiness.

About the only certainty, other than uncertainty, in fly fishing is that a fly won't catch fish if it stays in its box.

I think as any artist you always want to grow; you always want to get better.

To be entirely at leisure for one day is to be for one day an immortal

I want to be so strong as an actor that people wouldn't say... eh, that's Josh Lucas

Stop lookin' at what you ain't got, and start being thankful for what you do got.

Are you crying? There's no crying. There's no crying in baseball.

The roundness of life's design may be a sign that there is a presence beyond ourselves.
