I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
I love to watch good actors who surprise and amuse me.
If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education.
I was a very good baseball and football player, but my father always told me I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. There's great truth in that.
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
I know for a fact that a lot of actors are desperate and unhappy if their careers are not progressing at what they think is the correct rate. They just go crazy if they're not working. I don't feel I'd be that way. You can always get a few people together and put on a play. Maybe not in New York or L.A., but in a lot of other towns, you can.
I think I was born at a time when an American male had so many advantages and opportunities that weren't available to men before or after, just a very brief period.
I think when I went to psychoanalysis, I actually believed that people said what they meant. This was my whole problem.
I'm an atheist.
There's a reason screens are only this thick.
Fashion is chaotic, and it can be an aggravation, too, but it is at its best when it allows you to express yourself.
I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.
'Secretariat' was such a magnificent animal, unbelievably beautiful and powerful. It's always nice to see something that close to perfection, a reason to celebrate.
I don't need to be liked.
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
We're all animals.
Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.
Every country has their problems.
