I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.

When I was very young I wanted to be a professional horseback rider. Then I wanted to be a pop singer. Then I wanted to be a psychiatrist. Then I wanted to be a movie director.

There are a lot of things that I love, but if you're just completely invested in those things, their opposite can kick you over... So the trick is finding out how to maintain your balance when you're in situations with the people who make you happy and when you're not.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

I was so amazingly witty when I had the No. 1 movie, you have no idea. People laughed at every single one of my jokes. Then when I hadn't had a hit for three or four years, some of these same people pretended they didn't see me when I walked in the room.

I feel a terrifically painful disturbance in the natural law of things between men and women that must be balanced in the next few thousand years. What has been done in the name of holding up masculine energy as God and feminine energy as subservient has really wiped out everything.

I love my friends. I love my love-life. I love my hobbies. I love eating.
