I didn't come to Hollywood to drink or get high, and I don't want to be considered a cool actor - I want to be a great actor.

I'm trying to reestablish my career and do great work and give my kids the life they deserve.

I like to touch things. In my house I have a lot of velvet drapes and thick, lush couches.

Now, if I think a scene should go a certain way and it goes another, I'm able to go that new way with ease.

I know that 20 years from now if anyone asks me one question, it will be, 'What was it like to be in Saving Private Ryan?

I'm afraid of the dark. I'm not kidding.

I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
