America is not a country, it’s a business.

When I first got out to Hollywood, they were pushing me for sitcoms, and I didn't really have an interest in them. I wanted to do films and slowly worked that way. And then it became, I guess, this curse of the leading man.

For me a film is at its best when you can start filling in the story with your own life experience.

When you see a person, do you just concentrate on their looks? It's just a first impression. Then there's someone who doesn't catch your eye immediately, but you talk to them and they become the most beautiful thing in the world. The greatest actors aren't what you would call beautiful sex symbols.

Crime is just unvarnished capitalism, after all.

I've been in these tabloids for 14 years now, and at some point you just become a Zen master of it all

You must lose everything in order to gain anything.
