I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.

I have mainly been interested in acting. I think it's a great job, a fine way to live your life.

Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama; there's no device, It's just about a human being.

I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.

Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him.

I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.
