“That’s the secret to a movie career – just keeping an open mind.”

You can’t stop everything from happening. But we’ve gotten to a point where we’re certainly trying. If a car doesn’t have four hundred air bags in it, then it’s no good.

Of course we all know Biden is the intellect of the Democratic Party. Kind of a grin with a body behind it.

Plagiarism is always the biggest thing in Hollywood.

You have to trust your instincts. There is a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.

Always keep your ego in check and not be afraid to listen. Listening is a great art form.

It’s what people know about themselves inside that makes them afraid.

There’s a rebel lying deep in my soul. Anytime anybody tells me the trend is such and such, I go the opposite direction. I hate the idea of trends. I hate imitation; I have a reverence for individuality.

I’m trying to preach the idea that if we don’t pay attention to history we’re destined to repeat it.

If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.

Improvise, Adapt and Overcome!

Self-respect leads to self-discipline.

Being comfortable is over-rated.

I pay tribute to the writing always. The writer is a creative artist and the director is an interpretive artist and the actors are interpretive. You take zero and make it into something, that’s always amazing to me.

I’m very much focused on my career.

If you’re not still learning and growing as an actor, then you have no backbone and no career.

Listen, if my career was to end tomorrow, I would have no complaints whatsoever.

What I do now is all my dad’s fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.

Right now we have an economy in trouble, and someone who spent their career in the economy is more suited to help fix the economy than someone who spent his life in politics and as a community organizer.

I hope to be around past the 90’s. I don’t want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.

It’s your career, your face, your name. You have to be in control because if something gets messed up or something doesn’t look how you want it to, you’re the only one to blame.

I’m trying to mix the cool, independent stuff with the big stuff, but it’s been difficult finding the right roles. It’s been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned
