When you start to become a movie star it's easy to believe that you are Superman. That can fool you. That's why I prefer not to pay much attention to fame.

I trained as a theatre actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

I won and I get to scream and jump a little. But I got to go back to work tomorrow.

I don't see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.

I've always played the guy with the gun and the knife. That's how many actors start out, playing the bad guy.

Before I was even in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. Rumor was that I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it.

To me the thing with 'Grease' was that it was the first movie that as a kid I wanted to get up and do what they were doing.

To be honest with you, I'd rather not be working. When you work, there are all sorts of deadlines and pressures. I like to do one thing and take my time to do the other one.

The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy.

It depends, because sometimes an action role can be very demanding, and sometimes a dialogue-driven character can be very demanding, and vice versa. It depends.

You might get some serial killers who are born with a chip missing, but for the most part I don't think anyone is born bad.

It's a world of sorrow, Oddie, because we make it so.

Being well known for being well-known did not necessarily imply intelligence.

Solitude appeared to me as the only fit state of man.

Waiting never makes things easier or less troublesome.

Piracy n: commerce without its folly-swaddles - just as God made it.

I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards; I thought that was great for years.

It doesn't feel like a date. It doesn't feel like friendship. It feels like something that fell off the tightrope but hasn't yet hit the net.

I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.

I never wanted to be a man. I feel sorry for them.

In the end, the question is not, how do we use nature to serve our interests? It's how can we use humans to serve nature's interest?'
