I think one of the most pervasive evils in this world is greed and acquiring money for money's sake. Once you have six houses and a plane, it's just about a number. It's never been anything I understood.

I've been in silly movies and romantic movies and historic movies.

Image
I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again - I just have to find a story I want to tell.

Clint Eastwood has always been a hero.

I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.

It does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. I don't know what it's like any more to be anonymous.

L.A. kind of scares me.

I don't really worry so much about image. I try to just live my own life, my personal life, to my own sense of morality. In terms of the kinds of characters that I play, well, they could be anything.

If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.

There's something therapeutic about nudity. Clothing is one of the external things about a character. Take away the Gucci or Levi's and we're all the same. But not when the nanny is around. But I will with my wife and kids.

Image
I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

Image
I want to see the numbers that prove that show-business marriages are any less successful than other marriages. It's just very public when they fail.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I'd always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.

Image
As I was coming up on the stage, there was one source that could make or break you, the New York Times. Inevitably there would be one actor singled out for a better review, or worse, than somebody else. The effect of that was cancerous, divisive.

I think there is a puritanical wind that is blowing. I have never seen such a lack of separation between church and state in America, I don’t believe in God, but if I did I would say that sex is a Godgiven right. Otherwise it’s the end of our species.

My dad was an architect, and he wasn't a rich guy, but in our little world in Philadelphia he was famous. He loved to see his picture in the paper. I wanted to be more famous than him.

Some people have therapy, some people are alcoholics or they're in AA. Some people jump out of planes on weekends or find ways to release this kind of thing. And for me, it's acting. I find acting very therapeutic for whatever it is.

I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.

When it comes to music, it's my clothes, it's my guitar, it's my voice, it's my song.

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings.
