I feel like I'm a better person when I'm quieter.

I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships.

I don't believe that you can give the same performance every take. It's physically impossible, so why bother? If you don't do what is happening at that moment, then it's not real. Then you're holding something back.

The truth is, anybody that becomes famous is an ass for a year and a half. You've got to give them a year and a half, two years. They are getting so much smoke blown, and their whole world gets so turned upside down, their responses become distorted. I give everybody a year or two to pull it together because, when it first happens, I know how it is.

This is not a dress rehearsal; this is your life.

I don't want to be that guy mumbling into his drink at a bar.

The automatic things you do are basically those things that keep you from doing the better things you need to do.
