I have driven school buses, sold egg rolls and painted houses, and I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't gone into acting. Mind you, it's a great life, going around pretending you're other people and getting paid ridiculous sums of money for it.
-
I wasn't really raised to be the type of person to have doubts.
-
I love Chicago, but in a lot of ways it's a disappointment. You can work there for years and years, and because you're in Chicago, you don't get the recognition. It has some of the best theater in the country, but when they shoot a movie there, they bring in all their actors.
-
When you think of how history is revealed, we know certain things to be facts at certain periods of time, which turn out not to be so factual as time marches on.
-
If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education.
-
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
-
People get up, they go to work, they have their lives, but you'll never see the headlines say, 'Six billion people got along rather well today.' You'll have the headline about the 30 people who shot each other.
-
I'll never be the biggest kind of star; I'll be like Bob Duvall, respected as an actor but a lot of people can't identify the face. I don't have the personality of a big star, or the looks of a Mel Gibson or a Paul Newman, or the style of a George C. Scott.
-
I admire sensible, kind people. They're not often famous.
-
I prefer to conduct my life based on how I treat people.
-
I don't remember my life before I had children.
-
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
-
I think I was born at a time when an American male had so many advantages and opportunities that weren't available to men before or after, just a very brief period.
-
I like very much to do movies.
-
I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you're struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes.
-
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
-
I probably have more female friends than any man I've ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they're generally mentally tougher, and they're better listeners, and they're more capable of surviving things.
-
I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that - the ghosts you chase you never catch.
-
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
-
I'm not a control maniac.
-
I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.
-
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
-
Fashion is chaotic, and it can be an aggravation, too, but it is at its best when it allows you to express yourself.

Failure's a natural part of life.
