I'm more embarrassed about some of the films that I've been in than I am about Playboy. Playboy I'm actually quite proud of.

I've been doing theatre since I was 5 years old.

The busier you are, the more interesting you are. The more you're off doing your thing and loving your job and your life, that's fascinating.

I'm used to working alone. Frankly with some of the actors I've worked with, I've felt like I was working alone.

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

I'm too old to adapt to somebody else's ways.

I've auctioned off many scripts and will continue to do so for good causes.

I'm gonna be a character in a Happy Meal.

I wish everyone was a sci-fi geek because then there would be no violence in the world. There'd be no wars. There'd only be people e-mailing each other.

Sci-fi nerds are respectful, honorable. You can trust them.

It's great when you find somebody you're compatible with, but I'm really into separate bedrooms. You live your life and I live mine.

Directors never give you anything.

You can't look in the face of adoration and be cruel.

If I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't have done it. If I had a million bucks in the bank, I wouldn't have done Playboy.

I'm more embarrassed about some of the films that I've been in than I am about Playboy. Playboy I'm actually quite proud of.

Occasionally if you do something extraordinary, the crew responds with spontaneous applause, but that's very rare.

Actually ninety-nine percent of my acting has nothing to do sci-fi or fantasy, I consider it a good part of my acting, and enjoy the roles I play.

Cooking is great, love is grand, but souffles fall and lovers come and go. But you can always depend on a book!

I really just dabble in music; I really just did a few albums for my fans.

I think in the old days, films really went for the shock, with the blood and guts, but movies are getting better. The writing and directing have improved a lot, because the audience demands it.

The people who do the scoring and the music for movies are very talented, really special people.

Leave behind your old self and take a leap of faith into the unknown, you will surely find out what you are truly capable of becoming. Always have faith folks.

I come from a small village in Sicily. For all Italian people, family is very important. We don't fight with our families.

It's about sharing. You just give what you have to give wherever you go, and you let God handle the rest.

It was an hour of sanity with the good guys winning, a situation where the world was right side up.

Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game's over.

I'm always calling my doctor because I'm constantly injuring myself while on the road, like tearing a ligament, blasting my ears or losing my voice. Plus, I'm a total hypochondriac.

I don't think I could play a character that I couldn't relate to somehow. I'm not unfamiliar with frustration, anger, shame, helplessness and a load of other emotions that make up our psycho-soup. I try to focus on that frustration, that sense of unfairness, and multiply it.

Since I was young, the artistic expression that fashion embodies has inspired me. It's a way to communicate oneself.

Corporations are like countries now, there's a king, there are serfs, there's a court, basically everything but moats. They're feudal societies, and there are good ones and bad ones.

Friday' is about hanging out with friends, having fun. I felt like it was my personality in that song.

When you look at where team sports are going, the National Football League is turning into organized warfare.

Resignation is the courage of Christian sorrow.

One belongs to New York instantly. One belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.

As I have traveled throughout my Congressional district, the one thing I heard loud and clear was simply please stop spending money you do not have, rein in spending, live within a budget.

A decision made at night may be changed in the morning.

Even though I was theatrically trained, learning to develop a character was an awesome experience.

It was a weird mix of emotions. One day, your best friend could be killed. The day before, you could be celebrating him getting a brand-new bike.

People think it's great to be ahead of your time, but it can actually be quite painful.

I love sports. When I'm not playing, I'm watching, reading, or otherwise obsessing about them. This probably stems from growing up in Indiana, where if you didn't at least attempt to play basketball, you were considered of dubious moral character.

A band is sort of like a star. It reaches a peak and burns out. To have five guys working in perfect harmony longer than a couple years is difficult.

The reason it has taken so long for the robotics industry to move forward is because people keep trying to make something that is cool but difficult to achieve rather than trying to find solutions to actual human problems. Technology can be extremely expensive if you don't focus.

I want to be fulfilled in myself, rather than try to follow exactly in my father's footsteps.

For 'Barnyard,' I did the voice of a 'chick,' which was really a blast because I had to manipulate my voice to another pitch.

Sometimes you've just got to grab an apple - or grapes, or strawberries. Something that's healthy but maybe a little bit more adventurous, if you can see fruit as adventurous.
