"[Studios] won't hire you, even though you screwed the same !$#!#s and ate the bullet for it. Yet they pull you aside at a party and say you're their hero for the things you do." [Variety (August 14, 1997)]
"This is like a sober acid trip" (his reaction to winning the Golden Globe Award!)
"Usually in a battle sequence when a bomb is going off, you forget you're acting."
"I don't think it's wise to dwell on regret. There's regret, sure. But whatever you've done good or bad, is a part of who you are now. That's the thing you can change and improve."
