“I’ve often said there’s two kinds of actors. There’s a more gregarious type and the shy type.”

Romantic love can be a lot of crap, though, let me tell you. And it can hurt you.

I want to be a great actor someday, and I’ve decided there’s no use philosophizing; the only way is to work at my craft.

I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.

You’ve got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition’s an opportunity to have an audience.

Freedom, baby, is never having to say youre sorry.

To me, it’s not who you love… a man, a woman, what have you… it’s the fact that you love. That is all that truly matters.

Being the actors of the craft, the trade, one of the big things you do and you learn is about repeating.

You want to finally come to a point where you say that the women you’re with is also your friend.

We were doing Scarface many years ago…and I remember having my coffee and looking at the beach, the surf, and I saw a hundred people looking out into the ocean.

I found out how temperamental I am, yes. And that sometimes that can be kind of off-putting.

My grandfather was a provider. Work, any kind of work, was the joy of his life.

I’m so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go.

The problem with me is, I guess, the way I express myself, you have to be with me 50 years before you can get a sense of what I’m talking about.

I don’t think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great.

Is it possible to do something that that makes an audience uncomfortable, challenges them, makes them see things they’re not used to?

Show me a bad script and I will show you a big payday.

There is such a thing as too much beauty in a woman and it is often a burden as crippling as homeliness and far more dangerous. It takes much luck and integrity to survive the gift of perfect beauty, and its impermanence is its most cunning betrayal.

When I’m president of the United States, we’re going to have a VA that cares more about our veterans than about the bureaucrats who work at the VA.

Help my teammates become better players out on the court in order to win more ball games.

No man can cause more grief than that one clinging blindly to the vices of his ancestors.

You have more people that love you than you know.

People spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing.

There is no man more dangerous, in a position of power, than he who refuses to accept as a working truth the idea that all a man does should make for rightness and soundness, that even the fixing of a tariff rate must be moral.

I always thought we had more in common with punk than with anything else, but we had long hair, so we didn’t fit in that box.
