I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.
I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.
There are some actor secrets you keep sometimes, and you want to keep.
Some people have therapy, some people are alcoholics or they're in AA. Some people jump out of planes on weekends or find ways to release this kind of thing. And for me, it's acting. I find acting very therapeutic for whatever it is.
I would say invisibility would be sort of a fun power to have just to see what it was like to move through the world and not be looked at.
If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.
Ninety-five percent of celebrity is good.
L.A. kind of scares me.
I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through.
My family survived losing money to Bernie Madoff incredibly well compared to others.
It's easy to get laid when you're rich and famous. When you're broke and unknown, it takes skill.
My brother is the lifelong musician; he made the choice to do that when we were very, very young kids. I remember him playing in bands and listening to the music he was writing in the house - he's nine years older than me.
I want to see the numbers that prove that show-business marriages are any less successful than other marriages. It's just very public when they fail.
Obviousl, my perception of the world is one where humans are a threat to our survival.
