Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself.

But I think one of the reasons I tend to stay in the water most of the time is I distrust the comfort.

It's a living, breathing thing, acting.

Each of us needs something - food, liquor, pot, whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.

I watch actors destroy themselves by trying to get it right.

I have a list a mile long of faults that sometimes bring me to my knees in self-hatred.

I'm hardly a saint.

My body of work means nothing to me.

There's a great deal of attention paid and books written about this change of life in a woman, and really very little written about a man's change of life.

If you're lucky as you get older, you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.

The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love.

Then, for a hot three or four weeks I wanted to be a concert pianist.

There are no taboos in bed, and there shouldn't be any taboos in bed.

I'm hardly disinterested totally in my appearance.

As a matter of fact, I rarely ever play myself.

Physical qualities don't really matter much.

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

I just feel that no matter what comes in a career - and mine has been all over the map - you must stay at the table, pick up the cards you're dealt and play them.

Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself.

I grew up in a household where everybody lived at the top of his lungs.

I'd always felt a man should marry later in life.

I'm a firm believer in absolute honesty.

We do most of what we do out of our sexual energy and our sexual needs.

You start acting in spite of your neuroses, not because of them.

There is no right in acting.

But when I was seven or eight, I did my first little piece of acting.

Vampires are sexy to a woman perhaps because the fantasy is similar to that of the man on the white horse sweeping her off to paradise.

Intelligence is enormously sexy.

I now want to be playing parts more interesting to me and more exciting to me.

However, I don't by any means suggest that I'm always playing myself.

One of the safest places to be in the world is the stage.

But I firmly believe that you can't be emotionally free until you are emotionally committed.

But in order to be the thing you want to be, you have to work like a dog at the thing you love.

I always signed autographs when I could and always stayed and chatted with them when I could.

The last few years have been pretty hectic.

Absolutely. I can produce. I can write. I can direct.

What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.

The only thing you have then to believe in is your craft.

It's interesting to fantasize having a man sink his teeth into your neck for sustenance, knowing that it isn't going to be terribly painful but rather very exciting.

I have always felt the basis of everything in life is sexual, and I will maintain that to my dying day.

If youre lucky as you get older you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.

So it - we have one enduring, uh, idea that will always live on with the Smothers Brothers, that 'Mom always liked you best.' We're the universal, uh, feeling that every child, every sibling has had somewhere along the line. Or, 'Who did she like best?' And that became kind of a little mantra.

Negative thinking patterns can be immensely deceptive and persuasive, and change is rarely easy. But with patience and persistence, I believe that nearly all individuals suffering from depression can improve and experience a sense of joy and self-esteem once again.

Some of today's athletes do not have that kind of pride. They left school at 16, have never had a job in their life and are getting Lottery funding, earning money as an athlete.

My pipe business I created from scratch; my media assets and bank I bought from the secondary market.

The Oculus Studio stuff is going to remain exclusive to the Oculus store and platform. That's not to say that you'll never be able to play it on other hardware, but it very much is exclusive to the Oculus platform.

The impact of T.V. on our lives in general gets most things out of proportion.

When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes. It comes down to people's personalities and individual energies.

I love engaging in conversation with other moms because we can relate to one another, and we swap valuable insight and information.
