There was a period of time in Los Angeles when I wondered if I was just going to lose everything.

If I have no connection with the character, then it's all fake - it's just blah, blah, blah.

The same way that I know that I'll never do a movie as good or as celebrated as 'Forrest Gump,' I know that I'll never do a movie as bad as 'Bonfire of the Vanities.'

Shake it off and move on.

The desert, when the sun comes up...I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the Earth began.

I have gone through so many examinations of what a hero is, between the World War II stuff and the astronaut stuff.

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