It’s fun to watch someone like John Goodman, and yet it takes work. People say ‘he’s not acting, he’s being himself.’ Well it’s hard to be yourself, it’s the hardest job there is.

The people who can do you the most damage are the ones who are closest to you.

The only difference between me and my fellow actors is that I've spent more time in jail.

Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it.

People think I have an interesting walk. Hell, I'm just trying to hold my gut in.

Those are my people, you know? The ones who are going to crash and burn.

And I don't like to work. I only like working when I'm working.

I don't really read the reviews, but I remember one a long time ago I read that said that I had a face like a potato.

You know...they say an elephant never forgets. What they don't tell you is, you never forget an elephant.

I think if you can take care of yourself, and then maybe try to take care of someone else, that's sort of how you're supposed to live.

This is not a dress rehearsal; this is your life.
