One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself.
When you see grown men near to tears because they've missed hitting a little white ball into a hole from three feet, it makes you laugh.
I don't know how this guy knew how much money I was making. I didn't know how much money I was making.
People only talk about what a joyous experience it is, but there is terror: Your life, as you know it, is over. It's over the day that child is born. It's over, and something completely new starts.
Somewhere there's a score being kept, so you have an obligation to live life as well as you can, be as engaged as you can.
The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.
But I can only take so much TV, because there is so much advice. I find people will preach about virtually anything - your diet, how to live your life, how to improve your golf. The lot. I have always had a thing against the Mister Know-It-Alls.
I go home and stay there. I wash and scrub up each day, and that's it. One month I actually grew a moustache, just so I could say that I'd done something.
Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.
I'm a nut, but not just a nut.
I feel that if you really want an Oscar, you're in trouble. It's like wanting to be married - you'll take anybody. If you want the Oscar really badly, it becomes a naked desire and ambition. It becomes very unattractive.
I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships.
I think all phases of one's career are serious if you take it seriously no matter if you are doing high profile dramatic pieces or not.
I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.
When the phone started ringing too many times, I had to take it back to what I can handle. I take my chances on a job or a person as opposed to a situation. I don't like to have a situation placed over my head.
I came out of the old Second City in Chicago. Chicago actors are more hard-nosed. They're tough on themselves and their fellow actors. They're self-demanding.
I throw a Christmas party at my house. It's not really a Christmas party, because I don't want to call it a Christmas party. But let's just say I put a lot of Christmas trees around the house, so it smells good.
Sometimes I snore, like when I get really tired.
