As a kid I had a crush on Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.

With failure, you just try again.

Heroes always make the right decision; I find that seldom happens in my life.

My first love is acting on stage. A sitcom is a hybrid of stage and film.

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 like the way the old Toyotas look.

You can be knocked down, but it doesn't mean you're out.

I don't have any blindness when it comes to my money. As an actor, you can get distracted by your work. I do keep an eye on my nest egg, if you will.

I don't know if it matters what country you're from, size of the city you're from, urban or rural, there are people that are hurting each other everywhere.

I went to acting school in New York City for two years. I studied with Stella Adler.

I'm involved with Recording Artists and Actors Against Drunk Driving. I'm also involved with most children's causes, because children can't help the environment they're in.

I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free.

Remember to be as smart as you are.

It's very easy to confuse Sean Connery with James Bond. Sometimes in the entertainment industry, people believe the cake is more real than the baker.

I took all the philosophy courses I could.

The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.

I have adopted clothes from all the projects I'm in. It's really been a while since I've bought anything myself.

I like every single actor or actress in the world, because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan.

Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up.

Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.

Almost anything makes me laugh, especially jokes at my own expense. And I will never, ever admit to being ticklish anywhere.

A fancy watch, it's completely unnecessary. I just need a watch to tell the right time.

I put less stock in others' opinions than my own. No one else's opinions could derail me.

I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.

As a kid I had a crush on Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.

It is a career of make-believe, of masks. We all have masks in life.

My first paid acting job was a movie called Fandango. It also starred Kevin Costner.

I just couldn't go back to Suddenly Susan after David Strickland's suicide. I didn't see how we could make the show light and funny any more.

My closest friend is canine. I have precious few close friends, and most of them are not actors.

I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.

I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience.

I always thought that the badge a cop has was more like the shield that Captain America has. It's an obvious sign of good and something you'll protect other people with, but it will also protect you.

Death is not my best subject.

It's still a bottom-line business. You can be out of control, and if they want you, they'll pick you. And you can be a mensch, and if you're not the product they want, you won't get it.

All of the directors I've worked with I have loved and would work with again. I have no favorites.

It's great to work with people that you like, any job, no matter what you do.

When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.

While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.

Ice T was just a pleasure to work with. He was a smart gentleman.

Writing long hand is the last refuge. One needs the time it takes to put pencil to paper and let it run along the ruled line.

Long before we created libraries, or even books, poetry was the way we humans remembered who we were, a primary means of documenting and contemplating our lives.

The 9/11 strikes left an indelible impact on our minds, but in relative terms, the scale of casualties actually wasn't all that high.

None of the great discoveries was made by a 'specialist' or a 'researcher'.

Architecture is exposed to life. If its body is sensitive enough, it can assume a quality that bears witness to past life.

I did a bit of modeling before I took up acting, and I was up for this big campaign - I can't remember which designer - and all these execs were looking at my portfolio. Then one said: 'We'd like to use you, but can you come back next year when you've lost this.' And he tapped the underside of his chin.

I have founded Khudi, in Pakistan, a youth movement which tries to counter extremist ideology through healthy discussion and debate.

Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that.

I feel like Obama in a way. His idea that hope means not shrinking from a fight; it's the courage to reach for something. My music is that. Those are principles I try to embody.

There's ups and downs in this love. Got a lot to learn in this love. Through the good and the bad, still got love.
