The less people know about me, the easier my job is.

The way I reacted to 9/11 was I decided I didn't want to do any movies that are sad or critical. I decided I didn't want to make my living depressing people or making them go home sick, so I just decided I wanted to do comedy for a while and study it for a while. It doesn't mean everybody should do that, but that was my reaction.

Just because you're perfectionist doesn't mean you're perfect.

With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60.

I never thought in terms of typing myself, because I wasn't that successful. After an actor has done a few pieces of work, his naïveté is the part of the craft he has to nurture most.

Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.

We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
