Actor

My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.

I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years.

The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.

The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.

The thing that's cool about the recording booth is that it's so perfunctory, so cut-to-the-chase.

Fearless people are interesting to watch.

I'm thankful to be breathing, on this side of the grass. Whatever comes, comes.

I don't ever want to be comfortable with anything I'm doing.

It's really disgusting what Hollywood can do to a guy.

I've been busy and not busy, and busy is better. I've been busy, but I went through a lot of periods where it was lean for a lot of times.

I lost 90 pounds and my blood pressure went down to a normal level and the salt in my urine disappeared. And that was when I had to make the transition from fat character actor to thin character actor.

I've had biker clubs reach out to me whenever they knew I was in their city.

I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.

I think now that I'm in the autumn of my life, and I'm getting a chance of having an overview and looking at the shape of how things happen, when things happen, why things happen, I think it was fitting that I spent most of my early career doing mask work, because I just don't think I was that comfortable in my own skin.

I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.

I couldn't make it on the swimming team in high school. In fact, I got thrown off the swimming team and was forced to audition for the school play because they had at the audition about 35 girls show up and no boys, so my swimming coach suggested that I might be able to do the drama department more good than I was doing the swimming team.

Yeah, it's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.

In the early '90s, when those little art films started coming out, we were introduced to Quentin Tarantino and guys like that, and independent cinema was something that everyone wanted to be a part of.

Well, I love acting, and I love acting quick.
