“I’m a fan myself, so when a fan does something that might be strange, I understand it.”

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.

Anything that inspires unselfishness makes for our ennoblement. Christmas does that. I am all for Christmas.

Science does not deal with subjective experience… Well that’s too bad because that is all any of us ever have.

Climate change does not respect border; it does not respect who you are – rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, this is what we call global challenges, which require global solidarity.

Nature does nothing without purpose or uselessly.

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

The truth is that the government cannot give if it does not take from somebody…It is not in the power of the government to make everybody more prosperous.

There is no one of-woman-born who does not like Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and a Socialist.

Think about our dilemma on this planet. If the expansion of consciousness does not loom large in the human future, what kind of future is it going to be?
