Work is my hobby, staying sober is my job.

I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.

I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.

After I did Untamed Heart I wanted to do a film that was outrageous. I really wanted to do, you know, a performance. I don't want to allow my image to rule the choices that I make.

If you can help guide somebody through a challenging moment because you've been there, that ends up becoming a great gift.

I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about.

My mom put me in a Pampers commercial on TV.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

I don't think of myself as offbeat and weird. As a kid, I saw myself as the type of guy who would run into a burning building to save the baby.

The extreme always seems to make an impression.

If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?

Passion in every word I wrote, passion in every single thought.

Live your life with a Burning Passion, with an Unquenchable Thirst for knowledge and wisdom.

Rarely do you regret what you have done nearly as much as what you have failed to do.

My cat is not insane, she's just a really good actress.

No one wants to fail. So most of us don't even try. Sad. We don't even take that first step to improve our health or to deepen our working relationships or to realize a dream.

This is a bond nothing can ever loosen. What I have lost: what I possess forever.

People who disagree on important issues don't agree on the facts.

Genetically my legs are supposed to be huge. I can't really think about it, or I'll go crazy.

I don't know my natural hair colour. I haven't seen it for a while.

The most extraordinary thing about writing is that when you've struck the right vein, tiredness goes. It must be an effort, thinking wrong.
