I didn't get into this position by being like a stiff sitting on the set in a folding chair. I did it by walking around on the streets and stirring things up.

I think there's only so many people that can take care of themselves, and can take care of other people. And the rest of the people … they're useful in terms of compost for the whole planet, you know.

It's much harder to play beloved than to play a rotten guy. Rotten guy is a piece of cake. So playing a beloved person really sets a high bar for your behavior and your acting and what you project.

When you act obnoxious towards people, like on a movie set, they say we're ready for you and I say oh, go to hell, my feet hurt and my head aches. You want to have a margarita for lunch, and people like these little ADs and production assistants are like, well, he's drinking again.

But I can only take so much TV, because there is so much advice. I find people will preach about virtually anything - your diet, how to live your life, how to improve your golf. The lot. I have always had a thing against the Mister Know-It-Alls.

The first year I had money, I really went shopping. I got really caught up in it. I bought all my brothers sets of luggage, and I bought 'em winter coats from Giorgio Armani - winter coats. And I got a pair of socks from this brother.

Alcohol is really just the liquid version of Photoshop.

When the phone started ringing too many times, I had to take it back to what I can handle. I take my chances on a job or a person as opposed to a situation. I don't like to have a situation placed over my head.

Everyone needs to take a vacation from the sort of automatic things you do.

The last thing I want is to be (in a film role) is obvious, direct and offensive.

You had to keep the mood up you had to keep the tempo up. You had to keep the feeling of, Hey, we're doing something that's really exciting. It's fun being with these people. And the more fun you have, the better you do it.

People only talk about what a joyous experience it is, but there is terror: Your life, as you know it, is over. It's over the day that child is born. It's over, and something completely new starts.
