I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Who's to say anybody's even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that I've done, people still recite lines to me, even 20 years later.

It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.

I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that's a long process.

I try not to dwell on the past. I'm not a big go-back-and-try-to-relive-your-past kinda person.

I never really saw myself as an activist but at some point the activist is the only moral position to take.

I have a good friend who's a Texas girl; Texas girls are a whole different breed.

People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.
