I've never been difficult to anybody or with anybody on a picture. Especially when you're in that nice status of hierarchy of actors and actresses who get to approve directors. Because once you make that choice, it's my belief that the director's boss.

I never did anything else. In college I switched majors every two weeks, and acting was the only thing that held my interest.

My kid was a great baseball player. I thought I had it made. Front-row seats at Yankee Stadium. Then he turned sixteen and wanted to be a rapper.

I went to a shrink once, but I caught him going to a fortune-teller so I quit.

No matter what heights you achieve, even if you're Brad Pitt, the slide is coming, sure as death and taxes.

I'm sort of a Walter Mitty. I got fewer brain cells than most people, so when I got friendly with cowboys, I started rodeoing. When I was calf-roping, there was something about the dirt that made me feel clean.

I've been lucky. The critics never went out of their way to single me out for doing bad work.
