I'd like to play every type of character, but only once. I like to expierence things.

I've been around the movie business, so I can play it cool and all that, but when people are different they have that off thing about them. Their whole presence is just a little innocent, I think.

I did my best work in The Mosquito Coast. I know it wasn't such a big hit, but for me it was more meaningful than anything else I'd ever done.

It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.

I don't want to get so lost in thinking about me and talking about me all the time in interviews. It's so nice to unwind and just look at other things and get out of yourself. It's hard to detach myself from myself without neglecting myself. You know what I mean? I don't want to get in to the habit of thinking about my career because when it comes down to it, it's not really that important. I could die tomorrow and the world would go on.

Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.

Animals are not our playthings. We are on this earth to protect them. It's our duty.
