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.
You can't control the quality of projects that are coming to you, so if you get several in a row that are quality, you take them.
As you get older, you have to force yourself to have new dreams. For instance, I've been flying for 37 years, but now teaching others to fly is interesting for me. Sometimes you have to find new angles on life to keep you interested, like sharing successes and inspiring and helping others.
I believe L. Ron Hubbard resolved the human mind, and in resolving it he has also resolved human pain - that's what I really think has happened here.
I actually do like playing off-beat people. I think it's more fun.
There are unwanted emotions and pain that goes along with any birth.
You just activated a nuclear warhead, my friend.
Autism and seizures are the least known areas of illnesses.
Good writing is good writing, but that doesn't mean you can't orchestrate it or tweak it.
If you are going into show business for money and power, forget it! It won't happen. You don't go for that first.
And now after all this time I finally figured out how to trap him... I will become him.
