So far I've done two films that have basically been about television because I know that world.

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.

The truth of the matter is the real story are the people who rise above all of this incredible cruelty. Otherwise that cruelty wins.

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.

You don't fall in love with someone because it's convenient.

Of all the idiots I have met in my life, and the Lord knows they have not been few or little, I think that I have been the biggest.

A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.

The man that wars and judges others is eternally lost. The man that wars and judges himself is eternally found.

Amidst such Soulful freedom, Christmas is never hindered - but, freely embraced.

A lot of stuff you hear on the radio is like instant hooky pop, but I can't imagine it being covered in the future by other artists. It's really for themselves.

I'm not a very vengeful person. I like to accept people; I tend to see the good in everybody, so I'm kind of stupid like that.

The curious thing about individuals is that their singularity always goes beyond any category or generalization in the book.

Managers are the most creative people in the world.

As a kid, I always had a super vivid imagination, like "Man, I like those shoes, but they should've made them in purple" or like, "Man, I wonder how people make songs."
