I'm just a simple guy swimming in a sea of sharks.
This is what I do for a living. It's not who I am as a human being.
I'd like to think I haven't done my best yet.
London is one of the most enchanting places I've ever been on this planet.
I had no idea what I was going to do when they threw me out of school.
Let me just say, I've seen a pub or two.
It wasn't a mission to be a rock star. It wasn't a mission of mine to even be a movie star. I just intended to be a good actor.
You're in this constant state of flux and transition, as if you had jet lag all the time. The acting part of it is easy. It's all the other things that come with it that are a bit difficult.
I struggled for 15 years in this business before Miami Vice came along.
My sons are a hell of a lot easier to get through to than my daughter is. She seems to have my number. She can just run through the buttons.
I try to parent equally, but I think little girls are a little more sensitive.
Being with all those great bowlers was the greatest three days I ever had.
I was a little, skinny, runt kid, and I decided that bowling was what I was going to do in life.
I joined the PBA way before I should have because I heard a rumor they were going to limit the number of people who could get in.
Every bowling center should have a house pro.
If I die tomorrow, I've accomplished everything I wanted to do in life.
I'm not qualified for anything else, so I would imagine I'd either be doing something larcenous or I would have already been caught.
I pestered the hell out of everybody I ran into until I could play the guitar well enough to write and sing with it.
I could hear and feel music going on in me, and I couldn't get it out. You can always depend on a guitar.
Even though some of the films I've made haven't been particularly commercial, I don't find them failures.
It's my job to really commit myself to the material and the project and be proud of what I've done, and I am in most cases.
I made a decision that whether or not I was going to make under the national poverty level wasn't going to play a part in whether or not I was an actor. That's what I do.
It's a joy to be recognized and to have people that are interested in what you do. That can pick up your whole day.
I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.
The way our business is, the way it works out, we end up being residents of everywhere.
My favorite actor is Wallace Beery.
If the material is inspiring and motivates you, then it doesn't really matter what it is.
I've never been very successful in a monogamous relationship, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can assume that responsibility.
I consider myself an artist. God granted me some gifts so that I could express myself artistically.
I am stable when my private life is a success.
I do what I can to make young people understand that drugs can destroy their lives. I'm the perfect example of what people can accomplish when they have regained a sane body and spirit.
Hollywood is very much an industry town. Your life becomes caught up in all of the parties and this list and that list. That's not something that I respond well to.
I am seriously opposed to censorship of any sort.
