It's nice to know that if you've worked really hard at something, it gets recognised with a tick in the success column - however you define that, be it making a bunch of dough, which the actors never see much of, or whether it's a piece that's enlightening or stays with the audience maybe six, seven or even eight or 10 years later.
I wish I could have 25,000 years of my personal family history documented in a very powerful computer or a CD-ROM that I could just pop in and my computer would never crash
Embrace your dorkdom or rail against it. The choice is yours.
I believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray just to be worthy of it.
I was molded, spent my time underneath a lot of goo. And then the bits and pieces were sculpted. It took probably 10 days to create each character after all those camera tests.
I haven't been one since I did a film called (coughs) Encino Man (laughing). After two or three runs with Pauly Shore, I had enough. Watching this film in 3D as far as rollercoasters go really fills it for me.
Burroughs was never really that pleased with the way popular culture and society treated his character. He tried to make a few movies of his own as a result, but they weren't very good.
I remember thinking, I want to work for the camera.
All you have to do is just believe in what's there; then, the audience will, too
Of course I was a dork, but that's OK. Because all the coolest people I know were dorks.
To swing or not to swing? Swing.
I wish I could go home. I've been on the road since May. I wonder if my dogs still remember me
Maybe my caveman ancestors invented the wheel or something. I'm not sure.
Careers go in cycles. I've plateau-ed. I've been at the bottom of the ocean... You win some, you lose some...
