I turned down a scholarship to Yale. The problem with college is that there's a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you'll never be successful.

I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man; he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking; people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.

Copying isn’t particularly creative work. Being inspired by someone else’s idea to produce something new and different IS creative work.

I understand why marriages break up over golf. I can't even talk about my own handicap because it's too upsetting.

The big thing for actors is the level of commitment.

I want my audience to know me for my work, not because of who I'm dating or what drugs I'm on or what club I went to.
