It's such a luxury to be able to be happy about going to work in the morning.

They actually bought me for Daredevil 2, but they have to exercise the option.

When you work for Bruckheimer, you don't get it any better. He's the ultimate producer. I've had the good fortune of working with some great producers over the years.

What the hell did I do in the 80's? Midnight Run. A perfect movie. Just a perfect movie.

They've been talking about Pi, which I haven't seen, they've been comparing it to Usual Suspects, Sixth Sense, and Fight Club, and I didn't see that either.

I've been saying in the press that being a NY Post investigator reporter is an oxymoron.

There aren't any small parts, only small paychecks.

Living in the projects helped me with this role.

When we were making The Fugitive, we all thought it was going to bomb.

One thing that's great about being a character actor is that a movie doesn't rest on your shoulders. If it bombs, it won't hurt my career.

Who owns the NY Post? 20th Century Fox. Talk about vertical integration.

When I got the script for Memento, I read it and I got killed off on page one and I fired my agent.

The amateur porn business makes $11 billion a year. They don't get bad reviews.

The greatest leading man, in my opinion, will always be Cary Grant.

Let's face it, 80 percent of the work I do my kids can't see.

I've worked with Steven Spielberg three times. I'm proud to say that I'm one of those actors that continues to get hired by the same directors.

I think one of the geniuses of Bound and The Matrix and Memento is the complete collaboration of the effort. There were no rotten apples.

Bad Boys II has knocked everyone's socks off.

It's all about people. It's all about the subjectivity of what people love.

That's another reason I did Daredevil: I didn't get killed off in it.

When I interview somebody, I look at their resume to see what they've done, who they've worked with, and how many times. If they've gotten repeat work. Those are the kinds of actors I want to hire.

Actors always have opinions.

You'll never see me in the red leather. I don't have the chin for it.

The Moguls is a story about guys that have all grown up together and are now in their late 40s, early 50s.

I've been so good in so many movies that nobody saw.

We have to promote a movie. It's just extraordinary that everybody I'm talkin' to loves this movie.

I wanted to play a good guy after doing this lunatic on The Sopranos for two years. And then they did the sequel to Bad Boys, where I get to play the barking captain again.

I've been very successful doing voices in movies. I did Olive, the Other Reindeer, with Drew Barrymore, and I did Cats and Dogs. My children came to some of the sessions.

The camera looks into your soul.

Twelve to 15 years of acting school, and I am being a bird.

I've been on jobs where there's that one actor who is just a miserable, miserable no-good, dirty bastard, and it just turns the whole process sour.

In private some critics have come up to me afterwards and told me they honestly enjoyed the movie. Then they'd tell me that they're still going to have to write it up negatively.

I don't like directors that just say, Stand there and now do this.

Good actors are a dime a dozen, but I want actors that are gonna be part of my team and collaborative.

We should do another 10 Bad Boys movies. I could come in in one of those electric wheelchairs, like Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove, just shouting away.

It's such a luxury to be able to be happy about going to work in the morning.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.

We settled this continent without art. So it was easy for us to treat it as an imported luxury, not a necessity.

A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilization; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment.

The necessity of every one paying in his own labor for what he consumes, affords the only legitimate and effectual check to excessive luxury, which has so often ruined individuals, states and empires; and which has now brought almost universal bankruptcy upon us.

There are a lot of things going on with my life right now that don't just have to do with career. So I have a hard time making decisions about work. That's really a luxury problem.

Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.

Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in this world.

I think most Americans believe that although it's better not to use military force if you can avoid it, that the world simply doesn't provide us the luxury of giving away military force as an important tool of foreign policy.

Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.

There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this, he knows where the danger is.
