I'm always busy, but I'm lazy as well.

I had success as an actor relatively early. When I was 22, I got nominated for an Academy Award for The Last Picture Show, so that road, you know, had the least resistance. I was doing my music all that time, but it's pretty hard to turn down these great movie offers. And my father counseled me; he said, "You know, one of the wonderful things about acting is that you can incorporate all of your interests into the different parts you play." I'm glad I listened to the old man, because that's the way it turned out.

I'm kind of an idea guy.

All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding.

With a labyrinth, you make a choice to go in - and once you've chosen, around and around you go. But you always find your way to the center.

Life is having its way with me now. And I'm really pleased.

Execution is everything.
