A lot of people believe in reading reviews. If I get too focused on some detail of what they've said about me, I'm going to end up shooting myself in the foot.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

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.

I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through.

You have to keep the fights clean and the sex dirty.

Even the people that support Bush aren't happy with the way things are going in Iraq.

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.

There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous and those who are liars.

Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him.

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.

There's something therapeutic about nudity ... Take away the Gucci or Levi's and we're all the same.

Image
I try to show compassion to people I come into contact with and try to put good out, as much good as I can. But that's my life that's not my work. With my work, my job is to walk in another man's shoes.

I do better on the first three takes I won't be better at 20 takes.

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

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

The hardest gig there is in entertainment is to be the lead in an hour show, especially if it's a show that's blood and guts and fighting. It's rough. I love to work, but to do something different is really exciting.

I don't read reviews. I haven't read them for probably 30 years. I can't. When they're bad, they're really rough, and when they're good, they're not good enough. You can always find something to stress over.

L.A. kind of scares me.

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.

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