When I was a very little boy, I lived underneath the air pattern of LaGuardia airport in New York and I watched the planes fly to their destinations. I was in love with the design of these airplanes.
There are two areas where you can't stop people misbehaving: eating and sex
If you're going to play a woman, you might as well play a woman that you liked, and someone sexy.
I believe in love and marriage, but not necessarily with the same person
I called my son Jett and I wanted to call my daughter Qantas but my wife wouldn't let me.
Even if the script's well written there's something about the life of an improvisation that resonates better than a written word, sometimes.
I don't mind gearing my life towards privacy. It's my nature.
I have a dance background. I have an athletic background.
So you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna do something really outrageous, I'm gonna tell the truth.
I've never had that concern of thinking of myself as stupid.
I love fun movies that also have something to say. They tend to stay with me, always.
I played football in the ninth and 10th grade. I looked a lot like Joe Namath, so I think my looks got me there more than my abilities.
I think, for sure, 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Pulp Fiction' were kind of bookends for - or the pillars of - my career.
I'm too busy looking for the next role to do. I think about how to continue, to survive in the same vein. I like my career and my life as it is.
