If you take guns away from legal gun owners, then the only people who would have guns would be the bad guys. Even a pacifist would get violent if someone were trying to kill him or her. You would fight for your life, whatever your beliefs.Collection: Legal
I wake up laughing. Yes, I wake up in the morning and there I am just laughing my head off.Collection: Morning
I've always had confidence. Before I was famous, that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous, it just got me into more trouble.Collection: Famous
I would say, 'I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.' But I was just kidding myself.Collection: Alone
On the one hand, we'll never experience childbirth. On the other hand, we can open all our own jars.Collection: Experience
I just have more fun when I get to try new things - and the action film genre has kind of painted itself into a corner, copied itself so many times and it has basically run out of bad buys.
Every day, I work at not taking this fame thing seriously. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends who help me do this.
I like a little movie I did in the early nineties called 'Mortal Thoughts.' The part was hardly written, but I learned a lot making it. No one remembers it.
I mean, look, I wear makeup in films. I don't wear makeup in real life. It's just part of the gig, that's all.
Violence - look, we live in a violent world, man. This country was founded on violence. Who's kidding who?
After I did the first Die Hard I said I'd never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground.
Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. Be a hero, take the time learn about adoption today.
I've given up on trying to explain myself, or trying to set the record straight, or trying to get people to understand what I'm really like as a man, outside of my acting, outside of my job.
When you think about where are you going to find that big love of your life, you seldom think it's someone you already know. You think it's someone you're yet to meet.
I have zero interest in performing in films to try to convey any kind of message. My job is to be entertaining. There's a very different point of view about messages in films in Europe than there is in the States. Audiences rebel because they feel that they are being preached to.
I'm always being accused of being a Hollywood Republican, but I'm not! I have just as many Democratic ideas as Republican ones. If they could build three fewer bombs every month and give the money to foster care, that would be great.
I think the rules are going to have to change for me to ever run for public office. My checkered past will always keep me out of politics.
I'm staggered by the question of what it's like to be a multimilionaire. I always have to remind myself that I am.
Fifty is the new forty. I always thought my best work would come in the years forty to sixty, if I was fortunate enough to hang around - and it is hard to stick around.
There was a lot of dancing in '76, '78, in the '80s. A lot of dancing. The burn years. A lot of dancing. And for a while, working fit in with all that. 'Moonlighting' - that wasn't acting. It was people telling me 'Let's create a character who is you, so you can play him the way you are. The guy you are at night.' It was fun.
I think that there are a lot of law enforcement officers out there who work according to their own set of what is right and what is wrong. And that doesn't always include respect for administration cops, you know, people that are higher up the food chain.
I got to work with Dustin Hoffman on a film called 'Billy Bathgate.' I got to work with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn and Bob Zemeckis on 'Death Becomes Her.' There are still a few actors out there that I would like to work with.
Balding if God's way of showing you are only human... He takes the hair off your head and puts it in your ears.Collection: Hair
You can not bring back the past. But you certainly can not repeat it. Life is short, even if live to ninety. Live to the fullest - that's how I feel. Appreciate every moment, every hour, every day, because they do not blink of an eye, all over. I am absolutely sure that for most people their death comes as a surprise.Collection: Life Is Short
I wake up laughing every day. I get a kick out of life.Collection: Inspirational
No one predicts the future. No one tries to.Collection: Trying
Whoa, lady, I only speak two languages, English and bad English.Collection: Two
I think I'm much more afraid of making a mistake in raising my daughters than I would be with any work that I do, as an actor. It's a much higher scale of fear, raising kids.Collection: Daughter
I always question whether it's the right time for anything I do.Collection: Right Time
It doesn't matter how many people I've killed. What matters is how I get along with the people who are still alive.Collection: What Matters
