I'd rather live my life off screen and give only a certain amount of energy to the work.
Twitter and Tumblr and Vine and Instagram and Facebook and Myspace, all these things are social media tools that we were all told we had to have, and what we're realizing is that, no you don't! No you don't.
I consider myself a pretty good conversationalist, but you wind up being downgraded to idiot status when you don't speak the language!
Remember, sex is like a Chinese dinner. It ain't over 'til you both get your cookie.
I wanted to be president of the United States. I really did. The older I get, the less preposterous the idea seems.
Bush wasn't elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.
I did not have a happy family life a few years ago. I was divorced, and I was very alienated from my daughter, and I was out there cutting every ribbon and running around New York hosting events for different causes to supplant my loss because I didn't have a family to go home to. Now I don't want to be Mr. Show Business anymore.
My children are the only thing in my life that makes me happy.
I'm not an impressionist, per se, but if you do any kind of comedy - and they ask you to do that, most of the time - there's some degree of appreciation, I think, involving somebody you like.
I'm going to stop giving too much money to charity - the charity is going to become my family. I'm only half-kidding.
I know women that act queeny, I know men that are straight that act queeny, and I know gay men that act queeny... To me, those are people who think the rules don't apply to them.
John McTiernan, the director, is not Ingmar Bergman. He does action-adventure movies.
I don't hate Trump, but he's not somebody I admire.
My father would chaperone at high-school dances, and the toughest guy in the high school used to want to fight my father. My father broke his hand on a guy's head once in school.
Getting older is hard.
If Hank Williams Jr. wasn't such a pathetic, wheezing fossil, I'd have a talk with him.
I want to go make a movie and be very present for that and give it everything I have, and after we're done, then the rest of the time is mine.
I find myself bitter, defensive, and more misanthropic than I care to admit.
I'm the kind of person who does not want to be anywhere that I'm not wanted.
Hollywood does draw some very strange characters, and then the power of Hollywood and what they can do with it becomes like a blood sport to them.
There are shows that are monolithic successes on TV that nobody in the business ever watches one episode of.
I'm not interested in offending anyone. If homosexuality was an issue for me, I would have moved out of New York years ago. I find that laughable.
Look at the shows that are really successful on Broadway. They're musicals. They're things that a woman will pick out the tickets for, or a man will buy the tickets with a woman in mind. It's a date. It's boyfriend-girlfriend, husband-wife. That's what the theater in New York has become.
I think Jerry Lee is sad. As a musician, he was far more talented than Elvis Presley. Everybody down in Memphis knows that. Elvis became a movie star because he was beautiful. Not that Elvis wasn't talented, but Jerry Lee Lewis was incomprehensibly talented as a musician.
I think I'm just like a lot of people who had nothing. We had to amuse ourselves, so we had to become amusing.
As my friend said to me, when you have children, typically in a second marriage, when you're older and you get married again to a woman who would have children, you must always remember that you make sure the children attend a college where the commencement ceremonies are held in a facility with a wheelchair accessible ramp.
I have always wanted to do a show where I could stay home. When you make movies, you might as well take a dart and throw it at a map.
I worked all the time. Every moment I wasn't working, I was home with my family. I got divorced. And now I'm doing it all over again, and I've learned that the key is, I've got to work less.
I was in college in Washington, D.C. I did three years full-time. I did all my requirements, and my senior year was really a gut year. And I said, 'Law school will always be there.' I was in no hurry to get right into that.
I don't get acting jobs because of my looks.
If I won the lottery tomorrow, I probably would never work again.
Ultraconservatism is, to me, so illogical. Everywhere you go, conservatives want to cut, cut, cut, cut - cut money for powerless people. So, that's the biggest problem I have with them.
My brothers were funny, and there was a lot of shtick and comedy and nastiness and violence and fighting and sports.
My life, in some ways, has been a half-measure. I didn't commit myself all the way to my marriage and family, because I would have given up more. And I didn't go all the way with just being completely selfish. I always wonder where my career would be if I was more selfish.
