I have other obligations now - the show, my family, my life... though I know that without my sobriety I wouldn't have any of those things.
So I came to the realization: Nothing in life is unfair. It's just life.
Sobriety was the greatest gift I ever gave myself. I don't put it on a platform. I don't campaign about it. It's just something that works for me. It enabled me to really connect with another human being - my wife, Sheryl - which I was never able to do before.
I happen to be a movie star, but I'm not saying, "Hey, I'm a role model. Imitate me."
Fake confidence on the outside often trumps truthful turmoil on the inside.
They (teenage boys)don’t really listen to speeches or talks. They absorb incrementally, through hours and hours of observation.
We always reminisce about how everyone tried to get Diane Lane's attention, to very little success.
Whether you're a movie star or doing time in a correctional institute, everybody can have bad judgment, and it's something you have to address. You learn to go on from it. It shouldn't stand in your way. You shouldn't let people continue to throw it in your face.
Be funny whenever possible, even if some people don't get it.
I’ve never agreed with the conventional wisdom that ‘actors are great liars.’ If more people understood the acting process, the goals of good actors, the conventional wisdom would be ‘actors are terrible liars,’ because only bad actors lie on the job. The good ones hate fakery and avoid manufactured emotion at all costs. Any script is enough of a lie anyway. (What experience does any actor have with flying a spacecraft? Killing someone?) What’s called for, what actors are hired for, is to bring reality to the arbitrary.
Can someone explain the vitriol whenever Ayn Rand comes up? 'Atlas' is the greatest motivator for the individual that I can imagine.
In comedy you have to be willing to not take yourself seriously, you know? I take comedy really seriously, and so to take comedy seriously, you must not, you cannot, ever take yourself seriously.
I'm perfectly flawed... I've got tons of flaws.
When people consent to do something, they should be able to do whatever they want.
