“I never think about the downs. Well, only when I get asked during interviews.”

Violence – look, we live in a violent world, man. This country was founded on violence. Who’s kidding who?

I never think there’s any competition between films. I root for everybody’s films. I especially have a fond place in my heart for graphic novels and comics.

I wake up laughing. Yes, I wake up in the morning and there I am just laughing my head off.

I think that the “what if” game is what you guys get to do. I don’t have to do that. I hate the “what if” game. I’m such a believer in everything happening the way it’s supposed to happen.

Now I know what a TV dinner feels like.

What I say is what I say, I don’t always say the right thing, I don’t always say the politically correct thing. I don’t have any regrets about that.

Everybody understands that acting is a really difficult job. It’s hard work. You’ve got to get dressed up, you’ve got to hang around with beautiful women. It’s difficult. It’s a problem.
