I never walk into a place I don't know how to walk out of.

Feeling a little bit alive is a lot better than just waiting to die.

The older you get, the more you know about certain things.

The talent is in the choices.

If you're an actor, always be true to your character. If you are not an actor, have character and always be true to yourself.

If it's the right chair, it doesn't take too long to get comfortable in it.

Passion should always trump common sense.

You'll have time to rest when you're dead.

There is only one way to gain access to the truth and that is to not expect anything.

If you don't go, you'll never know.

Reputation, you know – a lifetime to build, seconds to destroy.

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent

Better to be king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime.

You don't need words to express feelings.

Time goes on. So whatever you're going to do, do it. Do it now. Don't wait.

I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.

There are not a lot of good movies being made.

I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.

In any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.
