The best way not to fail again is to be absolutely positive that when you do it this time, you're going to do it right.

There are three stages of an actor's career. Young, old, and "You look good".

The audience will always forgive you for being wrong and exciting, but never for being right and dull.
fans matter thanks

important remember quarterback
The most important thing to remember is: to protect your quarterback - ME!
thinking important terrified
I'm terrified of marriage. I'm terrified of not doing something so important and at the same time I think you shouldn't rush into these things.
football attitude ass
In football you can make it if you've got the 'I'm-going-to-get-up-off-the-ground-and-kick-your-ass' attitude.
adventure thinking hollywood
Friends come in herds and they leave in herds. Hollywood loves an adventure, but you have to hit bottom. Then they love to save you and be a part of it. Or think they're a part of it.
mistake taken responsibility
That's a big responsibility, and the details obsess me. And, also, I no longer feel I have to do the Tonight Show every time I open my mouth. Twenty years ago, I told myself I'd rather direct than act, and it's taken me this long. You lose your passion in acting. You make too many mistakes. Maybe that's why I make so many movies; if you don't like this one, another one's opening on Tuesday. But then I spent six months of my life on 'At Long Last Love,' a picture nobody saw. I enjoyed making it, I learned from it, I grew, but that's too much time out of my life.

Sometimes you have to lose yourself 'fore you can find anything.
healing florida
Florida is a very healing place.
new-york successful use
But then when I'm in a halfway successful movie, it irritates the hell out of the critics in New York, because they'd like to kill my pictures if they could. So maybe I'm pretty good in the movie. Then they use all these words like I'm 'surprisingly' good, or 'shockingly enough,' I'm good. It's like I crawled out from under a magazine and they're surprised I can act.
appreciation tired guy
Having done 300 television shows and almost 60 movies, I'm tired of having guys who are younger than some sandwiches I've had, telling me to turn left at the couch. There's no appreciation of actors and no sense of history.
wall age certain
You get to a certain age, where you know you can't go over the wall, but I'll never get to the age where I can't go through it.
