Once I got started acting I loved it.
I hate giving advice, because people won't take it.
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
I'm definitely still wild at heart.
I'm not a power person. I like everyone to be on an equal footing.
What's beautiful is all that counts, pal. That's ALL that counts.
I don't play golf competitively. I tell everybody that I cheat so they won't gamble with me. That's why you can't watch football. Everybody's gambling. They don't want to watch the game; they watch the spread.
I always knew there wasn't going to be anybody to help me and emotionally support me, that whatever I did I'd have to do on my own.
There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking, I don't know what in the world I'm going to do. It's free-floating anxiety. In my case, though, this is over by lunch the first day of shooting.
Financially, I've lost money and made money, but I know my way around financially.
You can't handle the truth!
I don't believe that relationships are fixed things. People are necessarily complex and confused beings. We don't always do the right thing, say the right, and behave the same way or the way we always want to behave.
When I was in high school, I earned the pimple award and every other gross-out award.
The less people know about me, the easier my job is.
