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.

Yeah, I think that's sort of the American way. And it's also the Polish way, it turns out.

The studios don't seem to foster good writing. They're not so interested in that, but they're more interested in what worked most recently. They're definitely very serious about making money, and that's not a wrong thing, but you don't have to make money the same way all the time.

I'm a nut, but not just a nut.

I think all phases of one's career are serious if you take it seriously no matter if you are doing high profile dramatic pieces or not.

Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.

I don't know how this guy knew how much money I was making. I didn't know how much money I was making.

Here's the thing, you just have to drive a lot faster, and if you don't get there, we're both fired.

All of us kids ended up 'doing Mom.' There are four of us who've tried show business. Five if you insist on counting my sister the nun, who does liturgical dance.

I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.

I went to Second City, where you learned to make the other actor look good so you looked good and National Lampoon, where you had to create everything out of nothing, and SNL, where you couldn't make any mistakes, and you learned what collaboration was.

In Japan, you have no idea what they are saying, and they can't help you either. Nothing makes any sense. They're very polite, but you feel like a joke is being played on you the entire time you're there.

I don't want to be that guy mumbling into his drink at a bar.

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.

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.

'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn't even get nominated for an Academy Award.

And I don't like to work. I only like working when I'm working.

Don't think about your errors or failures; otherwise, you'll never do a thing.

I go home and stay there. I wash and scrub up each day, and that's it. One month I actually grew a moustache, just so I could say that I'd done something.

I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships.

I throw a Christmas party at my house. It's not really a Christmas party, because I don't want to call it a Christmas party. But let's just say I put a lot of Christmas trees around the house, so it smells good.

I've been lucky, I've had movies that made a lot of money, so I don't feel like I have to kill every time out. I don't want that pressure. I don't need it.

Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.

No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.

Somewhere there's a score being kept, so you have an obligation to live life as well as you can, be as engaged as you can.

The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.

There are people who drove me crazy, but they got the job done. And when I see that person again, I nod my head. Respect.

There's only a couple times when fame is ever helpful. Sometimes you can get into a restaurant where the kitchen is just closing. Sometimes you can avoid a traffic violation. But the only time it really matters is in the emergency room with your kids. That's when you want to be noticed, because it's very easy to get forgotten in an ER.

We're born alone. We do need each other. It's lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to; that's part of your obligation.

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.

When you see grown men near to tears because they've missed hitting a little white ball into a hole from three feet, it makes you laugh.

While I have felt lonely many times in my life, the oddest feeling of all was after my mother, Lucille, died. My father had already died, but I always had some attachment to our big family while she was alive. It seems strange to say now that I felt so lonely, yet I did.

It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it'd damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.

I feel like Im a better person when Im quieter.

The more relaxed you are the better you are at everything the better you are with your loved ones the better you are with your enemies the better you are at your job the better you are with yourself.

Its Christmas Eve Its the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer we smile a little easier we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year we are the people that we always hoped we would be.

Disneyland. The worlds biggest people trap built by a mouse.

They say an elephant never forgets. What they dont tell you is you never forget an elephant.

I always like to say to people who want to be rich and famous try being rich first. See if that doesnt cover most of it.

Keep seeing the glass half full and it will dawn upon you that its probably your turn to buy.

I find it quite ironic that the most dangerous thing about weed is getting caught with it.

Melancholy is kind of sweet sometimes, I think. It's not a negative thing. It's not a mean thing. It's just something that happens in life, like autumn.

Morocco is the greatest. I should be getting money from the Moroccans because I'm just telling everyone that it's a wonderful place to go.

Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself.

People are like music, some speak the truth and others are just noise.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.
