To really achieve any level of greatness, you have to be willing to say yes no matter who says no, and to say no no matter who says yes.

When I was young, all I wanted to be was a movie star. At a certain point, I started to grow up and really care about what I did.

There are a lot of good things about being famous but there are a few not so good things too

I've never been willing to lie about my age. Why on earth would I want to tell people I'm 35, which I'm not, and have them say, 'Oh that's nice,' when I could tell them I'm 47, which I am, and have them look at me and go, 'Whoa!'. I'm not afraid of aging. I stopped being afraid of life a long time ago.

It was not always easy because I was always an individual and found it difficult to be one of a group.

You may be sick of what you did the first half of your life, but you don't just have to walk around and play golf or do nothing... It's not like fifty is the new thirty. It's like fifty is the new chapter.
