The Secret Service is a strange group. They don't really have a leader. It's not set up like a military. Each one is supposed to be able to act like a leader when something comes up.

Image
It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.

Image
There are lots of actors who are awful people, but nobody talks about them being awful because they've made billions.
Val Kilmer
Image
I don't make any pretense about being normal. I'm not.

Image
I never cultivated a personality. Almost everyone who is really famous has cultivated a personality.

If you think that by threatening me you can get me to do what you want... well, that's where you're right. But - and I am only saying this because I care - there's a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.

My perception is that I've never done anything but work really hard.

Image
It seems to me that every step forward in my life has been one that brings me to a better understanding of this: that you do your thing every day the best that you can, and you approach any success at it with humility.

I respect people who can do both careers, like Will Smith and a couple of other people who have done it, but I just don't know when they sleep.

Image
Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.

The only time it`s ever like work is when you don`t like what you`ve done. I`m very lucky in that I haven`t cultivated fame. Which, from what I`ve seen of my contemporaries, takes an enormous amount of time. I have a lot of respect for people that do it and they`re successful at it ... Especially people that aren`t such talented actors.

I live on a ranch that's larger than Manhattan. That's a weird circumstance.

Warren Beatty once told me that if someone's really stuck on you, find them their next boyfriend. But I could never do that.

Image
It was very serious and I wanted to do something really different so there was this comedy called TOP SECRET.

I probably complained more when I was younger. The movie industry can be frustrating but I think sometimes I could have been more helpful, approaching a film as a partnership rather than being critical of a director's ignorance. I wasn't sensitive to the fact that it's very hard to direct.

YouTube is a new experience for me-someone threw a laptop in front of me and showed me Nic Cage going mad, which has got to be the funniest thing on YouTube. He's so courageous.

It's the first time that I've ever had an art show based on a film, but it's a photography collage.

If you're in a hit movie, it's good to be in another hit movie straight away.

Acting is not a science. Anybody who believes that their success exists in relation to their goals is deluding themselves unless you think of a career in terms of financial goals. I have nothing against Tom Cruise, but he must have a large capacity to deal with the business side of movies.

I don't believe in death. I think it's just a state of mind.
