People are really much more respectful than they're made out to be and much more discerning about the fact that I'm not the character I play.

Actually, I have an interest in finishing my Ph.D., but I just know I never will.

I don't discount belief. I just discount most of the things that people believe in.

I'll instinctively know that I identify with a character.

I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.

Maybe the best things about celebrity are the things like being able to get that seat on the plane that you wouldn't normally get, but that's kind of like cheating.

I'm not a comic book character. I'm not Indiana Jones or Bond, I'm a flesh and blood guy who is ageing and changing. I don't have to do what I did in '93. I couldn't do it and thank God.
