If you have the opportunity to meet someone as an actor, it's just great fodder for you. It's wonderful source stuff that we die for.

The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.

I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.

It was a compromise. There was a sense that I could write my own memoirs, and Larry [Grobel] would help me down the line, or maybe not, maybe he was too close to me.

They say we die twice - once when the last breath leaves our body and once when the last person we know says our name.

There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.

When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I'm going to do a big scene that's dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.
