My wife, whenever I’d go off to work and I’d be kind of anxious, she’ll say, ‘Remember, have fun.’ Oh, I forgot, thanks for the reminder. Because sometimes we do forget. We take it all too seriously and there’s a lot of joy to be had wherever you are Picture Quote #1

As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it’s because I’ve played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting Picture Quote #1

Making films is sort of like you’re pulling off a magic trick. It’s sort of like an illusion. It’s not real but you want it to appear real, and all kinds of things go into that, from the clothes you’re wearing to the make-up, to the light Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that we as individuals can make a difference. Ending hunger in America is a goal that is literally within our grasp Picture Quote #1

All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding Picture Quote #1

There’s kind of a Zen aspect to bowling. The pins are either staying up or down before you even throw your arm back. It’s kind of a mind-set. You want to be in this perfect mind-set before you released the ball Picture Quote #1

So I have this word for much of what I do in life: ‘plorking.’ I’m not playing and I’m not working, I’m plorking Picture Quote #1

I think we’re all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want Picture Quote #1

The hoopla with all the award season is kind of mind-boggling. It kind of puts you on your heels Picture Quote #1

Technology is such a broad kind of term, it really applies to so many things, from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology.

I have no lucky charm. I am 100 percent superstition-free, and I take nothing for granted Picture Quote #1

Play doesn’t have to be a frivolous thing. You may think of a Beethoven symphony as something serious, but it’s still being played. I think Oscar Wilde said that life is too important to be taken seriously Picture Quote #1

I consider myself pretty lazy, but I look back and check out the stuff I’ve done, and I say, ‘God, that’s a lot of stuff for a lazy guy.’ It’s a paradox, I suppose, being both things Picture Quote #1

Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don’t know if it’s a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor.
