If you want to be watched 24 hours a day in everything you do, you can't turn that around. You can't wake up three years later and say, 'Stop bothering me, I'm a serious actor,' if all you've done is wear certain clothes and show up half-loaded at clubs.

I had no real experience studying acting; I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.

When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'

I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.

If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.

The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.

In film, there's so many little things where not just the actor can blow his lines, but technically, it doesn't quite come off in the perfect way envisioned.
