I am seriously opposed to censorship of any sort.

The way our business is, the way it works out, we end up being residents of everywhere.

I'm just a simple guy swimming in a sea of sharks.

I struggled for 15 years in this business before Miami Vice came along.

Let me just say, I've seen a pub or two.

I made a decision that whether or not I was going to make under the national poverty level wasn't going to play a part in whether or not I was an actor. That's what I do.

Being with all those great bowlers was the greatest three days I ever had.

Even though some of the films I've made haven't been particularly commercial, I don't find them failures.

I pestered the hell out of everybody I ran into until I could play the guitar well enough to write and sing with it.

It wasn't a mission to be a rock star. It wasn't a mission of mine to even be a movie star. I just intended to be a good actor.

Every bowling center should have a house pro.

I joined the PBA way before I should have because I heard a rumor they were going to limit the number of people who could get in.

People in the business will stay with you through drugs and alcohol and divorces and insanity and everything else, but you have a failure, pal, and they don't want to know nothing about you!

It's a joy to be recognized and to have people that are interested in what you do. That can pick up your whole day.

Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.

My sons are a hell of a lot easier to get through to than my daughter is. She seems to have my number. She can just run through the buttons.

If I die tomorrow, I've accomplished everything I wanted to do in life.

I had no idea what I was going to do when they threw me out of school.

The most aggressive artists often hide their romantic side.

It's my job to really commit myself to the material and the project and be proud of what I've done, and I am in most cases.

If the material is inspiring and motivates you, then it doesn't really matter what it is.

I can do whatever I want - I'm rich, I'm famous, and I'm bigger than you.

I've never been very successful in a monogamous relationship, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can assume that responsibility.

Hollywood is very much an industry town. Your life becomes caught up in all of the parties and this list and that list. That's not something that I respond well to.

This is what I do for a living. It's not who I am as a human being.

I could hear and feel music going on in me, and I couldn't get it out. You can always depend on a guitar.

London is one of the most enchanting places I've ever been on this planet.

I'd like to think I haven't done my best yet.

You're in this constant state of flux and transition, as if you had jet lag all the time. The acting part of it is easy. It's all the other things that come with it that are a bit difficult.

I consider myself an artist. God granted me some gifts so that I could express myself artistically.

I do what I can to make young people understand that drugs can destroy their lives. I'm the perfect example of what people can accomplish when they have regained a sane body and spirit.

I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.

I try to parent equally, but I think little girls are a little more sensitive.

I'm not qualified for anything else, so I would imagine I'd either be doing something larcenous or I would have already been caught.

I was a little, skinny, runt kid, and I decided that bowling was what I was going to do in life.

I am stable when my private life is a success.

Once you become famous there is nothing left to become but infamous.

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.
