Death is not my best subject.

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.

To know that one has never really tried - that is the only death.

Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. It's like death.

Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.

Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the loving heart.

Death is a distant rumor to the young.

For years the Trio did nothing but play for musicians and other hip people. We practically starved to death.

I don't sit in the corner waiting for death: death has to pursue me. I'm going strong. I hope to reach 100 and ask for an extension, just like my grandmother did.

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down .
