I bought a piano once because I had the dream of playing As Time Goes By as some girl's leaning on it drinking a martini. Great image. But none of it worked out. I can't even play Chopsticks. But I've got a nice piano at my house!

The problem is, we elected a manager and we need a leader. Let's face it: Bush is just dim.
I've been lucky enough to do a few films that will last longer than an opening weekend and those films are the ones I'm proud of.
It's incredibly unfair. You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen.
The idea that every time you do a film you're supposed to be tortured confuses me. I mean, guys who say, 'Oh, it's really tough, my character is really suffering' -come on. For us, even in the rotten ones we've had a good time. I don't think you have to suffer.
The only failure is not to try.
When you're young you believe it when people tell you how good you are. And that's the danger, you inhale. Everyone will tell you you're a genius, which you are not, and if you understand that, you win.
I'd think, 'In a relationship, we should never have his kind of fight.' Then, instead of figuring out how to make it work, I looked for a way to get out of it. The truth is, you shouldn't be married if your that kind of person.
I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.
I'm not smart enough and I don't know enough about what's going on.
We're picking on people we can beat.
They say I was a bad Batman, that it was my fault, that I buried the franchise. But the truth is, it was a big project. I was pretty intimidated in that world. I did the best I could in the situation I was given.
I just found out about 10 days ago that I must live 300 or 400 yards from Britney Spears... so now I have to move.
The hardest thing is trying not to correct everything on the Internet. It'd be night and day - wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. So you just have to say, 'All right, I'll take it, bring it on.'
But I'm kind of comfortable with getting older because it's better than the other option, which is being dead. So I'll take getting older.
People know everything about everybody now.
I was in a bar and I said to a friend, 'You know, we've become those 40-year-old guys we used to look at and say, 'Isn't it sad?'
I'm certainly the last person to give advice on, well, anything.
I'm the flavor of the month.
I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on.
There's no connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq.
The government itself is running exactly like the Sopranos and they sit back and they make deals. And they say okay, 'I'm going do this: France, you're getting the pipelines.'
You make a lot of films, do you? You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk.
Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties.
There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.
As you get older and ease your way into being a character actor you have to be comfortable with where you are in life and career, and I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing - working on projects I'm proud of.
I was watching 'Up In The Air' and I thought, 'Jesus, who's the old gray-haired guy?' And it was me. I never wear makeup for movies and now it's starting to show.
The last real movie stars were probably Redford and Newman. And things were different then. There wasn't this amazing amount of magazines and information about them.
Who would name their kid Jack with the last words 'off' at the end of the last name? No wonder that guy is screwed up.
I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film.
I'm really white trash.
I don't like to share my personal life... it wouldn't be personal if I shared it.
I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him.
America can't beat anyone anymore.
After doing One Fine Day and playing a pediatrician on ER, I'll never have kids. I'm going to have a vasectomy.
You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I'm there now.
