I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man; he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking; people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.
There's never been a parent in my life.
I think there's a form of honesty, because I used to be very honest with the press, and then it backfired on me, and I understood it.
A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man's sport. Or it's a rich man's sport, or it's a sport that they can't be involved in.
I got kicked out of every school I ever went to.
Well, there's different shades of Hollywood, sure. I mean, I'm working in this business but I'm not Hollywood.
You can't buy back your respect; you can't buy back your career. You only get one, so I don't want to mess that up.
I have a very nappy, curly head.
So it's kind of nervous to be in this situation, but at the same time you look at all those actors and the work that they've done, I've been in bigger films than all of them and still kept my integrity and still kept my respect.
I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.
I would like to be George Clooney diplomatic. I just don't have the wherewithal yet or the inner serenity.
I trained more than anybody ever in a golf film ever made - my swing is pretty hot.
I come from garbage.
No, I come for a hippy lifestyle, it's very open; my parents are both hippies.
And yeah, my handicap was down to a 10 when we were at the thick of it. I trained for six or seven months, golfing every day for six hours, seven days a week, with eight trainers. It was intense.
People were going to geometry class and I was swimming through vats of chili on 'Even Stevens.' It was like a dream!
Everybody's got stories. I don't want to not have stories.
I never get in trouble.
I come from French Cajun Jewish people.
But this is a little different. This is the adult acting. This is a different crowd. It's more work and more good work. That's it. People will have their opinion regardless.
In my parents' generation, rebellion was pop culture. It's not anymore.
At this point I have enough money to live 25 lifetimes. You couldn't spend the money I've accrued now.
I can't tell you how many hot dogs I've eaten in my life.
I understand why marriages break up over golf. I can't even talk about my own handicap because it's too upsetting.
I've spent more on my Dodger tickets that I did on my car.
To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.
I'd love to go to school and have a normal life, but I don't see any professor at Yale being able to teach me more than Steven Spielberg.
I'm only going to work now when I'm terrified.
I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.
I was the only white kid in my neighborhood for most of my youth even in high school, so reverse racism was just as apparent as racism.
I hated golf when we first started, but a big part of the training process was falling in love with this sport, so I went on tour with the UCLA Team.
The best movies are simple.
There will always be opportunities to be in love again.
I'm trying to find a way to eat up time without being destructive, 'cause that's my go-to, it seems.
I have a hard time with free time.
I'm a call-sheet junkie. I love being on set. So, the hardest thing for me is dealing with all this idle time. That's when I get into trouble.
