Dysfunctional families have sired a number of pretty good actors.

I don't like to talk about myself that much.

I don't see myself as a violent guy.

If I start to become a star, I'll lose contact with the normal guys I play best.

I left home when I was 16 because I was looking for adventure.

I'm not a sentimental guy.

Nothing counts so much as family, the rest are just strangers.

My wife and I take what we call our Friday comedy day off. We watch standup comics on TV. The raunchier the better. We love Eddie Izzard.

I'm disappointed that success hasn't been a Himalayan feeling.

I have trouble with direction, because I have trouble with authority. I was not a good Marine.

Hollywood loves to typecast, and I guess they saw me as a violent guy.

I do not like assassins, or men of low character.

That's the great thing about plankton. It pretty much keeps to itself.

If you look at yourself as a star, you've already lost something in the portrayal of any human being.

Seventy-five per cent of being successful as an actor is pure luck. The rest is just endurance.

Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining.

The difference between a hero and a coward is one step sideways.

I got sober when I was 22 years old.

I don't get nervous when I'm directing a play. It's not like acting.
