I love anything by Joan Didion. Incidentally, she was one of the local moms when I was growing up in Point Dume. She always reminded me a little bit of my mother, so I feel a great affinity. I love the precision of Didion's writing. There's a construction and a craftsmanship to her sentences that's imbued with so much emotion.
Cannes is a little bit like French wine. There are certain years that people prefer over others.
The term 'celebrity memoir' has gotten such a bad name now, but there used to be a little bit of an art form to it.
In spite of being professionally gregarious, in my nonpaid hours I'm a bit of a hermit. After being around a crew of fifty people for twelve hours a day on a film set, I really like my alone time, and as always, I abhor small talk.
It's a little bit of a 'if you can't beat 'em - join 'em' mentality for me when I think about Twitter.
I don't look back with any bitterness, though there are a couple of judgment calls and some '80s hairdos that I'd like to do over.
JFK is a role I've always dreamt of playing.
I sadly never got to my prom. I was shooting 'The Outsiders.'
I would've loved Jack Kennedy. I would've loved to have campaigned for him and supported him. I wish there were more like him today.
I - you know, I loved politics more as a younger man.
My son Matthew's beloved dog is a Jack Russell. His name is Buster. Matthew picked him as a puppy, when he was tiny himself.
My parents did divorce, but my dad has always been present for me and loving me and my mom as well when she was alive.
My roles in comedies from 'Austin Powers' to 'Tommy Boy' to 'Wayne's World,' were sort of comedic 'straight man' parts. My character on 'Parks & Recreation' is the comic relief in a comedy. To play a character that appears strictly for laughs is sort of new for me and really fun.
The '90s were a time of building for me. Building a life that was sober, drained of harmful, wasteful excess and manufacturing in its place a family of my own.
