Tim Burton... as an actor you wait and wish and hope and pray you'll work with him.

I bounce off four walls, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because I only sleep those four hours a day.

In Tarzan I only had to worry about the bees.

As for action movies, I did Tarzan, and I'm also about to shoot Meltdown, which John Carpenter wrote.

The one in the movie is not real, but my Casper tattoo is real, and it is my only one.

I already played James Dean in a film called Race with Destiny, but it hasn't come out yet.

I do most of my own stunts because the stunt guys show me how.

I'd like to continue to act and also produce.

I like movies that challenge people to recognize different things.

I don't drink. I don't do drugs.

I also watched a lot of football and sports. I haven't had much time to watch too much TV lately.

I like the way that different people recognise me for the roles I done.

I eat five to seven meals a day and a couple of protein shakes.

Growing up, my favorite TV show was Star Trek.

I've always loved writing.

I sail, scuba dive, play football, basketball.

I eat really healthy, and if I'm tired, I take a nap.

I play a huge variety of roles.

And I ride horses, swim, do a lot of reading, writing.

No, I consider myself computer illiterate.

Tim Burton... as an actor you wait and wish and hope and pray you'll work with him.

I, more or less, love camping out, so I dug it, but I didn't enjoy other people's pain.

It would be Spiderman. I'd love to be Peter Parker.

We make a lot of mistakes for women, and we'll always do it again.

Being a working actor, you're going to do a Spelling show. It's hard not to.

I get beat up on every project.

Oh, I wouldn't want to go on a date with a female celebrity. I'd rather go on a date with a real woman.

I do really crazy things all the time, but I can't think of anything offhand.

Green is my favorite. And it's my favorite because it's the color of my wife's eyes, grass, trees, life, and money, and mother earth!

My favorite actor is Wallace Beery.

I've been a very lucky actor.

I don't think I could be happy as an actor if there was a tyrant on the set.

When I was starting to get noticed as an actor in the 1970s for something other than the third cowboy on the right who ended up dying in every movie or episode, Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in the world.

Most parts that can be played by one actor can equally well be played by another, but not this.

I think, frankly, that I'm a better director than I was an actor.

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.

I don't think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself.

I don't think there has been any increase in sophistication in the audience. When people are aware of a concept that's easy to understand, and there's an actor who will attract them to the theater and it's a movie that's funny three-quarters of the time, it will be successful.

I never dreamed about being an actor, because that was out of reach. Coming from a small town that was big in farming, and also big in clothing factories, you don't dream about being a professional football player or an actor.

My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.

If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable.

To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist.

I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.

And once you cease to be a real person, you stop being a good actor.

When I decided I wanted to be an actor, I said I wanted to work with quality actors and directors.

There are roles I want that my agency might not want me to do because of the subject matter or whatever. Or there are roles that people won't bring to me because they don't think I'll do it. And that is a big strain because an actor wants to act.

Reality is, I'm an actor and an entertainer, and I really wouldn't know what to do with another profession.

I still feel like I'm trying to make it. It's hard to shed the struggling actor thing.
