I'm not the most loathsome man in the world. I've dropped to number nine.
Marriage hasn't been my thing. But gay people, knock yourselves out!
Studios are used to have an investment in you, an actual, literal investment in an actor. You paid them some money, you had a contract with them and you were almost like a commodity.
My movies are unadorned, they're not particularly fancy, I think they're kind of workmanlike in some ways, focusing on the writing and the acting.
One guy told me I was a great actor, I just would never be on the cover of a magazine.
Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That's who I'm dating.

God help me if I ever do another movie with an explosion in it. If you see me in a movie where stuff is exploding you'll know I've lost all my money.

Well I've never used that phrase before, but yes she is bootylicious.
On the day he had colonic irrigation: 'I feel I lost my virginity that day in so many ways.'
