I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.

Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You!?

When I was in high school, I earned the pimple award and every other gross-out award.

The first role I ever played I had the lead and it's pretty much stayed that way, though people take great relish in calling me a character actor, which I am. There are a lot of short parts I could play, but I only do them when they are like this ("A Few Good Men"), central to the idea of the movie.

There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking, I don't know what in the world I'm going to do. It's free-floating anxiety. In my case, though, this is over by lunch the first day of shooting.

Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.

I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.
