“I get more choices of things, projects, which is a blessing and a curse. I can only do one at a time. Sometimes you don’t know which way to go.”

I trained as a theatre actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

You deal with failure – strike, strike, strike – all the time. Acting is like that. You have to have a very thick skin in a way – your hair is too dark, you’re too ugly for the part, your audition wasn’t good.

I don’t think I could be a foot soldier. I don’t know if I could take orders too good. I’m a little lazy.

I think that the Oscar gives you some kind of guts or something, it gives you the illusion that you can do it. It’s good for business.

I’ve done a lot of movies, and you really never know. You do a movie and you think that it’s great, and then you see it and it doesn’t work.

I think having a vision can make someone an influential man. I’m not talking about acting or anything like that, I’m talking about people I admire, whether it’s a writer or a musician or a sports figure or a politician, whatever.

Am I getting better at making choices? Well, I think I might be getting better at reading scripts.

I used to play basketball and I was pretty competitive, but I was never a bad loser. I never got angry. For me it was always about doing my best and devoting myself to a challenge.

Regarding green screen, green screen is really like doing some stage work. You have to make believe that there is a window, make believe that something is there that is really not there and convince the audience. It’s part of acting.

License to Kill’ is not one of the great Bond movies.

Before I was ever in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes.

I won and I get to scream and jump a little. But I got to go back to work tomorrow.

To me the thing with ‘Grease’ was that it was the first movie that as a kid I wanted to get up and do what they were doing.

There’s something about the Oscar that gives you sort of stripes where you feel you can dare to walk into a studio like Universal and say, “Hey guys, how about an idea of me playing the wolf man?”

Before I was even in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. Rumor was that I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it.

When I was a little kid, I was the first kid in my neighborhood to have a pet alligator.

I think we all carry within us different versions of ourselves. Our true, greatest, most honest versions of ourselves can either be developed and nourished, or it can remain dead from neglect.

For each of us destiny is a blend of potential, circumstances, and choices.

Kids are not driving themselves to McDonalds. It’s not about kids and their choices. It’s about parents and their choices.

You can HAVE, DO or BE, anything you want! It’s a choice and it’s YOUR CHOICE.

I think it’s your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard.

Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.

We need to make a game out of earning money. There is so much good we can do with money. Without it, we are bound and shackled and our choices become limited.

The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.
