When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.

I know people get upset and go, 'They're going to take away the assault weapon'. But who needs an assault weapon? Like, really, unless you're carrying out an assault.

I think that's become passe, but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it, then that's a noble project.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

The world meets nobody halfway. When you want something, you gotta take it.

I love being so tight on people in close-ups that the veins in their eyes look like the Mississippi River.

Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.
