I love New York City. Everyone is busy with their own lives - and no one is interested in some Hollywood celebrity walking past in downtown Manhattan.

I'm not about to talk about what's romantic in my life - I figure if you talk about it once - then that's an open invitation for everyone to dig into your personal life even further.

It's a free country and I can keep my mouth shut whenever I want.

A lot of movies you do because they're fun, they make people forget about their day.

Being the lead of the show and working a lot of hours - all good stuff, a tremendous education, incredible opportunity, it changed my life - it was a marathon, and by the end of it I was pretty beat.

Don't ever put anything past kids. They will surprise you in the best ways.

I always show up to work and give it everything, and some things turn out better than others - and some things you can expect that it will come out better than others.

I can intellectualize myself out of anything.

I love New York City. Everyone is busy with their own lives - and no one is interested in some Hollywood celebrity walking past in downtown Manhattan. That's why it's my favorite city. You can do what you want without attracting a crowd of curious onlookers.

I think anybody with an insecurity, which is everyone, appreciates the fact that it's much easier to be a predator than it is to be prey.

I was dyslexic, so math and formulas were not necessarily my strong suit.

I'm pretty much your average, energy-saving-light-bulbs-recycling citizen.

I've always been a clown trapped in a leading man's body.

I've been through quite a few hurricanes. I worked in North Carolina, where there's a housing development whose name was Landfall.

I've never really had a problem with the imagination level of an audience. They're always smarter and savvier than any studio exec will give them credit for.

In a way, you kind of get caught up in whatever image of yourself you think is out there.

The ego certainly is the biggest obstacle as an artist or performer, so any chance you get to destroy that is really healthy.

The less seriously you take yourself, the better work you're going to do.

The more you make fun of yourself and don't try to go for any kind of respect, the more people seem to respect you.

Ultimately, I'd love to be able to work in film.

When you're the lead of a series, things happen around you, and you react to them.

You are incredibly fortunate whatever success falls on you, which is what happened with me.

You buy a house and you get it checked out and you feel like you've kind of made your mark here in some way. And then an act of God just comes up the coast and has the potential to just completely wipe it clean. Weather like that is certainly humbling.

You can't really pretend something is rosier than it is and expect people to buy it.

You know, I'm not big on conspiracy theory. It does really kind of get my blood going when I find out there really are conspiracies that actually happened.

You start thinking the world is a certain way and forgetting that there's another world outside of the campus boundaries that has nothing to do with what is your world at the time.

I am not this big celebrity, but it gets really crazy. You have to go through the nuts of blowing up, in a sense, and then figuring out how to live your life with that.

I don't think I'm a celebrity. A chimpanzee could have done what I did.

If you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you've read his autobiography.

A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known, and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.

The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by, and repelled by, and yet I end up knowing about it.

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.

It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.

You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.

Everyone wants immediate success, immediate celebrity, and that doesn't produce what used to be artists.

It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.

My Brat Pack buddies and I didn't exactly handle celebrity very well. Success at an early age is far more difficult to handle than failure.

I don't have any friends and don't have any intention of making any. People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you. And they're not really your friends. They're only there because you're a celebrity or because they want to get something from you.

I don't mean that if you're a Christian, walking close to God, you will immediately gain celebrity. you may fail as an artist, because you may not have what the public want at that time, and you have to be prepared for that.

The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.

Celebrity was a long time in coming; it will go away. Everything goes away.

I feel about me like I'm one of the working people, just like you, and everybody else. I don't fit the part of a celebrity.

There's no reason that just because you're a celebrity you can't write.

I was 25 and the most popular celebrity in the world, with the possible exception of my friend Mary Pickford.

I think the more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you're putting yourself out there all the time, you're not holding anything back.

However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.

I'm not a celebrity. I don't call myself a celebrity. I'm an actor.

I feel like I almost didn't grow up in the business, because my parents worked so hard at sheltering us from that. I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago.
