I'm a parrot. I can pick up an accent and just do it.

I still do television. I don't care. I just want to work. I love to work. I want to do 500 movies.

The bad guys are the best parts.

In the '70s, everybody was doing drugs, so long as you showed up and did your work, they'd use you until you died.

The best thing about Sci-Fi, which is my favorite genre, is that there are no rules for behavior. So you can do anything you want.

Producing is nothing more than bringing all the elements together, connecting people.

Larry Kasdan is a great director.

I'm a parrot. I can pick up an accent and just do it.

I play out negative fantasies for people. I'm the guy people love to hate. And they always remember the bad guy.

My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.

I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that.

I prayed to God for help and I put myself in a recovery house called Studio 12. It was for people in the business and you didn't have to have any money to go, which was good because I was broke.

Westerns was why I got into the business. I grew up on a small farm in California and all I ever wanted to do was to play gangsters and cowboys in movies.

Work begets work.

Blade Runner helped make my career. Everybody was in it. Who knew?

You know, stand-up comedy is where I pretty much started out.

I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.

My whole deal when I do accents or dialects is I gotta fool the locals. If I fool the locals then I've done my job.

I did 125 films, and over 100 television shows, and you've never seen the same character twice.

I've never considered myself a leading man, don't look like one, don't want to be one.

I could talk about Blade Runner forever.

I liked the drama of getting stoned.

I couldn't say no to jobs and I couldn't say no to drugs. I'd get high from a movie, I'd be somebody else because I didn't particularly like me, so long as I had a script in my hand, I was okay. As soon as the movie was over, I didn't know what to do.

I'm a character actor, so I don't take the hit if the movie's bad, the lead does. So, I don't want to be the lead. He takes the hit, I don't.

I'm big and a lot of the stars are smaller so if you're big and mean looking, you play bad guys. After Blade Runner, I was the meanest guy in Hollywood.

You never know what show is going to change your life.

Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting.

The interesting part of the process is developing the character, you know, why did he become that? Why is the guy a murderer, or why is this guy a pervert, or whatever he is. So that's the fun part for me to delve into the abyss.

When your absence is felt, your presence is the essence and it makes a difference.

I believe every child has the right to a mother and a father. Men and women are not the same. That's not to say they're not entitled to equal rights, but they are not the same.

People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.

I cherish my privacy, and woe betide anyone who tries to interfere with that.

I have written two medical novels. I have never studied medicine, never seen an operation.

Seeing your work in print is exciting, especially when you're young. It's that feeling that you have some effect on the world outside of your immediate neighbourhood.

Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.

I've always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John.

What drives me is I love my profession. I love to do it.

If I were king of the world there wouldn't be boat people, there would only be people coming in boats. I would mix us all up so that we were all exactly one shade of each other.

If you don't look good, we don't look good.

Where are the people who don't have goals headed? Those 97 per cent end up working for the three percent.

Manuel Rosales is being unjustly persecuted. He won't return to Venezuela under these circumstances, because Peru will never expel him.

I was, like, this token teen angst child of Broadway. It's so funny. What is that? I don't even know. But I loved it.

When I look at the world I'm pessimistic, but when I look at people I am optimistic.

I love working with actors, and it's all been based on my being trained in the theater.

What TV is extremely good at - and realize that this is 'all it does' - is discerning what large numbers of people think they want, and supplying it.

I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are.

When I go out, I'm not going out to find a man; I'm going out to dance the night away with my best friends.

Unity is power; without unity women cannot fight for their rights anywhere.

Every natural object is a conductor of divinity and only by coming into contact with them... may we be filled with the Holy Ghost.
