Maybe my caveman ancestors invented the wheel or something. I'm not sure.

I remember thinking, I want to work for the camera.

I wish I could have 25,000 years of my personal family history documented in a very powerful computer or a CD-ROM that I could just pop in and my computer would never crash.

I wish the rock 'n' roll scene to be back in.

I think you have to show homage to creators.

The test audience holds a great deal of power in the process of filmmaking in the United States.

I mean, it was a mummy movie. It was a good film independent of its source. It that looks like Lawrence of Arabia on steroids in a lot of ways.

Burroughs was never really that pleased with the way popular culture and society treated his character. He tried to make a few movies of his own as a result, but they weren't very good.

I recently watched Peter Brook's Lord of the Flies, and it wasn't a favorite film. Then I saw the one that was made in 1990, which in my opinion didn't match up to the original.

I was molded, spent my time underneath a lot of goo. And then the bits and pieces were sculpted. It took probably 10 days to create each character after all those camera tests.

Elizabeth Hurley and I had a lot of fun together. She's a very beautiful, confident woman.

Graham Greene, as I understand it, was quite outspoken in his criticism of American foreign policy.

I believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray just to be worthy of it.

I've been grateful enough, smart enough to take the work with Ian McKellen in Gods And Monsters.

I'm just glad that I have bragging rights to working with Bugs and Daffy.

I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for.

I always approach comedy roles pretending they aren't funny.

Maybe my caveman ancestors invented the wheel or something. I'm not sure.

I wish I could go home. I've been on the road since May. I wonder if my dogs still remember me.

Most people go, I wish for world peace. But chaos has a place in balancing out the light and the dark in the world. I don't know if I would wish for world peace.

I wanted to have the opportunity to travel to Vietnam and Sydney, and have the chance to work there.

As sophisticated as the technology gets, the less sophisticated you have to become as an actor.

They had a hard time miking me in my loin cloth, I mean, where were they gonna tape it?

I'm starting to judge success by the time I have for myself, the time I spend with family and friends. My priorities aren't amending; they're shifting.

I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that's the basis of Greek mythology.

What if Shakespeare had had a test audience for Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet?

Horrible things happen, but were they horrible? No, they were just circumstances of the world.

George of the Jungle is a cartoon. He's a guy who swings around on a vine all day. Are you not buying that?

If you run an Internet search on Vietnam and the war, most of the information you get begins at about 1962. I think this is telling. It is missing the whole period that led up to the reasons the war happened in the first place.

I still don't understand the music industry that much. Everything I learned was from hanging out with rock musicians in studios. I certainly have respect for those who make music their livelihood.

Saigon is hot, full of atmosphere, activity, and commerce.

Ian McKellen is brilliant with research. I paid really close attention to the sources he goes to. He's a very, very intelligent man.

I would act whether or not I was paid. I would be involved in ensemble groups. I would have the desire to tell stories.

I suppose if it has a practical purpose, I appreciate a pat on the back. I suppose it's rewarding, ultimately.

Forget acting. It's all about rock 'n' roll.

When you throw punches at actors, you stop, you pull it, and it looks like you pulled it. When you throw punches at cartoon characters, they are not there, so you can swing through. It looks like you really decked them.

I have so much satisfaction in my life. I have a beautiful wife and the great stimulation of an interesting career. I'm the most happy fellow that I know.

All you have to do is just believe in what's there; then, the audience will, too.

I guess darkness serves a purpose to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think thats the basis of Greek mythology.

I didn't realize that winning the Olympics at age 14 automatically put me in the category of being a celebrity.

I never sit down and write. I just sorta let things form in my brain.

Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.

I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my fathers equal and I never loved any other man as much.

We continue to have nuclear weapons relied on as a weapon of choice. If that policy were to continue, we continue to have countries who are in a security bind, if you like, or perceive themselves to be in security bind to look for acquisition of nuclear weapons.

It wasn't until my teenage years that a book really left a mark, and that was George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four.' It was on the syllabus at school when I was about 16, and I went on to read more of his books. It was the height of the Cold War, so a lot of the messages really resonated at the time.

There are crimes that like frost on flowers in one single night destroy character and reputation.

A couple times a year, I get in the car, and I'll drive 1,000 miles cross-country, going through side streets. I'll stay off the highways as much as possible. And I realize it's a huge country, and for us to be in so many places in the country is an amazing thing.

I don't think I should tell you what to do, nor should the government. As long as you enjoy your own personal liberties and don't infringe on the liberties of others, I don't care.

I don't weigh myself.
