I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do

I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.

I want a big 25-foot pink statue that holds my grave. Or I also might like the way the Indians did it. They hang you up on the top of a tree and the birds eat you. No, really I would probably choose cremating.

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!?

I assume most of the characters I play are exactly like me.

When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don't agree with, or maybe I just haven't thought of it or whatever, I'd be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it's going to become predictably my work, and that's not fun.

[on the birth of his son after having had two daughters] I finally got it right.
