I try to stop and take a 10-second break and ask myself before I do something: One, is this going to improve my life for my children, or two, will there be a potential for something to go wrong here?
I'm very, very proud to be a father, ... I just want to put this very difficult time behind me, although I feel that what doesn't kill you in fact makes you a stronger person and I just want to live a long healthy life and be a good dad.
I'm a very fortunate actor. I'm blessed to be the position I'm in right now. Hell, I'm blessed to be in any position, you know? There are so many guys who had good lives, great lives, and blew it.. .I think there are some guys who think they don't deserve to have good lives. They feel they don't deserve their good fortune, so they throw it away. One of my good friends was Chris Farley. Chris blew it. He blew the whole enchilada.
Temptation is impossible for me to resist... Come on. This is Hollywood. It's in the job description.
Some actors try to play parts and do things they can't do. Being funny is one of them. Being funny's hard.
I think I may be in - potentially - three classics. That sounds like I'm bragging.
I'm a detail freak. If I'm playing a Marine sergeant, like in Sergeant Ryan, I wanna know everything there is to know about being a Marine sergeant.
Even though it did well at the box office and I think my performance is fine, I thought ('The Relic') could have been a better movie.
This is the maraschino cherry on the banana split of bad luck I have been having,
It was the first new wave, the French new wave that was inculcating the United States. He was right on the cutting edge. Always has been,
I used to be very rigid because I just wanted to get through it. Now, if I think a scene should go a certain way and it goes another, I'm able to go that new way with ease.
Strangling that girl was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Number one, it was her first movie. Two, she was really nice. And three, there she was in Winslow, Arizona-the middle of nowhere--with me and Oliver Stone, and she had to get raped and murdered.
She knew what she could do to people,
Extra ... I lost everything. I didn't just lose one thing. I left my house ... with $8.38 to my name and I didn't know where I was going.
