You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.

I cannot bear to look at a film that I made before 1990. Maybe 1985. There's no sense even trying to explain it. I really just can't watch myself. I see all the machinery at work and it just drives me nuts, so I don't look at anything.

I just hope when my body goes, or when my mind does, I have the guts to end it the way Hemingway did. I don't want anybody wiping drool off my chin.

I respect generosity in people, and I respect it in companies too, I don't look at it as philanthropy I see it as an investment in the community.

Twenty-five years ago I couldn`t walk down the street without being recognized. Now I can put a cap on, walk anywhere and no one pays me any attention. They don`t ask me about my movies and they don`t ask me about my salad dressing because they don`t know who I am. Am I happy about this? You bet.

It happens to everybody, horses, dogs, men. Nobody gets out of life alive.

The accusation is always on the first page, and the retraction on page 19.

I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.

How many honest men do you know? Take the sinners away from the saints, you're lucky to end up with Abraham Lincoln.

Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.

Once I started taking drama classes, I asked myself why I had ever wasted so much time on a football team.

The only way we can give our children the best education in the world and prepare them for the next century is by funding the programs that serve them.

I wanted, I think, to acknowledge Luck: the chance of it, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others made especially savage for children because they may not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it.
