I've always thought basketball was the best sport, although it wasn't the sport I was best at. It was just the most fun to watch.

You can't say, "I'm gonna make a hit movie." You're as dead as you could be.

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.

I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye. But I can't look into the eyes of everyone who wants to look into mine; I can't emotionally cope with that kind of volume. Sunglasses are part of my armor.

I'm the last guy in the world to feel overlooked by the Academy.

I used to be very quick, I would be able to leave the room and be back before you noticed. When you can't do that anymore you need to change the style of how you do things. But I'm very interested in life and you don't want to lose that.

You make me want to be a better man.
