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.

My favorite actor is Wallace Beery.

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.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

Be where the acting is. I live in Houston. Dallas is 4 1/2 hours away. I let them know there's no difference.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.

In LA, too many people want to go the quickest route from A to B. Method acting offers them that.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I know that if I'd had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldn't have got anywhere. You don't take exams for acting, you take your courage.

I'm not acting, but I am acting.
