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

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 think it had something to do with my love of music, especially rock music.

You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.

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 don't care what the public wants, I'm going to give it what it needs!

You spend most of your time as an actor unemployed, so you're not going to hear me complaining that I haven't had a day off in three weeks.

Washington is out of control, and it's time for Texans to stand up and stop them.

Pressure for the most part comes from this overarching concern that if I head into the election season without sufficient resources, then any outside group, any individual, any super PAC may choose to come in to my district and overwhelm it and take over the airwaves and control the debate.

We made more money feeding molasses, urea, and corn cobs to cattle than we ever did feeding dent corn.

No I don't really write thinking about specific actors because it can get in the way a little bit.

To me, there's two kinds of music these days. There's ephemeral music, and there's music that has lasting power and depth.

Good morals lead to good laws.

Rich people don't like to be in the military. The shoes are ugly and the uniforms itch. Rich people don't go in much for revolution or terrorism, either.

I'm the weirdest person.

I like people. That's me. I like people on the street, and I also happen to like other people who have power. But I'll go to a party and realise I haven't spoken to anybody who can do anything for me.

I would say, as an entrepreneur everything you do - every action you take in product development, in marketing, every conversation you have, everything you do - is an experiment. If you can conceptualize your work not as building features, not as launching campaigns, but as running experiments, you can get radically more done with less effort.

My sense is that the wonderful technology that we have to visualize the inside of the body often leaves physicians feeling that the exam is a waste of time and so they may shortchange the ritual.

Going to religious places gives me clarity. When I am sitting there, I am in a state of gratitude with my defence mechanism down and am open to receiving that energy, that gives me clarity as at that time, you are listening to your heart. The heart shows you the direction in life. The mind exists only to execute your emotion.

Fear the Greeks bearing gifts.

Los Angeles is peopled by waiters and carpenters and drivers who are there to be actors.

Fatherly love is the act of giving your life for the sake of someone elses needs.

I have no problem with it. I don't look on homosexuality as an aberration. It's just they way they're born, and how could any relationship between two people in a committed relationship be wrong, regardless of gender?

With AC/DC, we've always started with rock, and we've just kept it going. The critic's view is always, 'They just made an album and it's the same as the last one.' I'll have fifteen of them, anytime.

Music was definitely a way out. Instead of playing basketball, I was going to recording studios.
