Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
— Don Johnson
Hollywood is very much an industry town. Your life becomes caught up in all of the parties and this list and that list. That's not something that I respond well to.
I consider myself an artist. God granted me some gifts so that I could express myself artistically.
It wasn't a mission to be a rock star. It wasn't a mission of mine to even be a movie star. I just intended to be a good actor.
My favorite actor is Wallace Beery.
It's a joy to be recognized and to have people that are interested in what you do. That can pick up your whole day.
It's my job to really commit myself to the material and the project and be proud of what I've done, and I am in most cases.
People in the business will stay with you through drugs and alcohol and divorces and insanity and everything else, but you have a failure, pal, and they don't want to know nothing about you!
I'm not qualified for anything else, so I would imagine I'd either be doing something larcenous or I would have already been caught.
If I die tomorrow, I've accomplished everything I wanted to do in life.
I was a little, skinny, runt kid, and I decided that bowling was what I was going to do in life.
My sons are a hell of a lot easier to get through to than my daughter is. She seems to have my number. She can just run through the buttons.
The most aggressive artists often hide their romantic side.
I am seriously opposed to censorship of any sort.
I do what I can to make young people understand that drugs can destroy their lives. I'm the perfect example of what people can accomplish when they have regained a sane body and spirit.
I've never been very successful in a monogamous relationship, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can assume that responsibility.
Let me just say, I've seen a pub or two.
The way our business is, the way it works out, we end up being residents of everywhere.
I made a decision that whether or not I was going to make under the national poverty level wasn't going to play a part in whether or not I was an actor. That's what I do.
Even though some of the films I've made haven't been particularly commercial, I don't find them failures.
I could hear and feel music going on in me, and I couldn't get it out. You can always depend on a guitar.
You're in this constant state of flux and transition, as if you had jet lag all the time. The acting part of it is easy. It's all the other things that come with it that are a bit difficult.
Every bowling center should have a house pro.
Being with all those great bowlers was the greatest three days I ever had.
This is what I do for a living. It's not who I am as a human being.
I'm just a simple guy swimming in a sea of sharks.
I am stable when my private life is a success.
London is one of the most enchanting places I've ever been on this planet.
If the material is inspiring and motivates you, then it doesn't really matter what it is.
I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.
I struggled for 15 years in this business before Miami Vice came along.
I'd like to think I haven't done my best yet.
I pestered the hell out of everybody I ran into until I could play the guitar well enough to write and sing with it.
I had no idea what I was going to do when they threw me out of school.
I joined the PBA way before I should have because I heard a rumor they were going to limit the number of people who could get in.
I try to parent equally, but I think little girls are a little more sensitive.
I can do whatever I want - I'm rich, I'm famous, and I'm bigger than you.
