I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods.

I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.

My thing about looking good is that it should be the character. If I'm playing a character who's concerned about his body - an athlete, say - I'll get in shape. If I'm playing a character who doesn't or wouldn't, I don't. I almost never get in shape for a movie, even though I know it would be a good career move.

I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that.

Make them laugh, and then make them listen.

You should learn to be happy with what you have. Besides, the fact that I'm not a huge star has allowed me to pick and choose the roles I want to do, not the ones some person sitting in a studio office thinks I should do.

Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.
