Everyone says, "You have to work at relationships." Sometimes you've got to work, but if you're working 60 percent of the time and only enjoying it 40 percent...

There was nothing to react to except wind and trees [in Cast Away]. It was like making a silent movie.

The filmmakers aren't running the studios anymore. Sometimes people who like films are making them, but by and large, they have to go report quarterly earnings and all that stuff. The competition is so huge that it's very hard to get people to show up to see any movie in the theater, much less an original one that isn't a version of something else they saw.

I've talked to a number of actors who have gained weight for roles, and just the sheer physical toll it puts on one's knees and shoulders - no one wants to do it again. I'm 57 and I don't think I'm going to take on any job or go on vacation again and see to it that I can gain 30 pounds.

Work in the theater is more fun than fun.

I had to say no to 'Fantasy Island' back when I was doing 'Bosom Buddies.'

If not for John Adams leading a revolution against Great Britain...This would be the BAFTAs.
