Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.

I just don't eat too much. That's never been my problem.

I still like to listen to the people that I came of age on.

When you make a movie, it's up to so many things and so many people.

I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February.

I don't think anyone sets out to do something bad, it's just that it's very difficult.

You need someone to tell you how to do things like hitting your marks, or driving a car so it looks right or getting out of a car so it doesn't take a million years of screen time.

Karl Malden was quite a mentor. He taught me things he had learned from being in front of a camera so long.

I was initially a leading man, but only on television.

I grew up with Apocalypse Now and Badlands, so I had a real awe thing going.

A lot of actors in my age bracket look at being still standing as pretty good.

I will confess I did none of my own singing. I did all my own costume and makeup, though.

You always know when something works it's a result of everything firing on all cylinders.

Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.

I love going to concerts, so that whole environment is something that intrigues me anyway.

I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.

Yes, I've already done a couple of guest voices.

If someone comes up to me, 90 percent of the time it's about Office Space.

I am also a drummer of sorts. I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom.

I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.

Then, at some point, you get identified with certain things.

I like the fact that this kind of family has been seen in a movie a million times: teenage kids, the family is a bit strained and they don't have enough money, but in the background the guy used to be a Gene Simmons type.

There is no handbook about how a career is going to go.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don't know if it's a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.

The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge's chair, while I was in the witness stand being questioned. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists.

For me, being in front of the camera and training go hand in hand.

I define success as being comfortable with yourself and your life. And that is about as good as it gets, really.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.

PR is extremely important, and being able to use it in the right way means everything. You have to market your success.

Being ill like this combines shock - this time I will die - with a pain and agony that are unfamiliar, that wrench me out of myself.
