Actor

Why wouldn't you be afraid of a Komodo dragon? It's a dragon. It's a dinosaur.

Tower Records is like a temple to me. I'll stay there for hours. Nobody can shop for records with me. It drives them out of their minds.

If someone is talking to you and tells you that you ought to do something, and you can tell they mean it, those are the scary people. Those are the people you want to watch out for.

I love independent film so much, and that's kind of where I made my mark.

Just the other day, my assistant was on the line with Calvin Klein. Golly, I usually shop at Sears.

One of the most important things for an actor is to know who you are.

I quit flying years ago. I don't want to die with tourists.

When people wear shoes that don't fit them, it says something about their soul. Generally, I think it means they are good people.

My wheelhouse is intense characters who have a certain sympathetic streak and also a sense of humor.

Sometimes I'm playing somebody that I may have a problem with. Your job as an actor is not to go only play things that make you look good.

One of the great regrets of my life is that I don't play piano.

If you can make a color show or movie seem like it's in black-and-white, then you've done a really good job.

Marketing is the devil.

I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip.

Pushing Tin,' I went to air traffic control school in Toronto for that. Passed with flying colors, by the way. If I ever become an air traffic controller and I'm the guy in charge of your plane, you're in good hands.

Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.

I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.

I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.
