I really desire a partner.

I am not as crazy as people think.

I'm a big baby. I'm not tough at all.

I have thin skin. I'm not a tough guy.

I'm afraid of the dark. I'm not kidding.

We get second chances. We get 19th chances.

Well you know for me, the action is the juice.

I was a tough kid. I don't punch people anymore.

My family is very discreet. White-shoe, you know?

Why am I the way I am? Well, I used to be different.

I'm essentially a momma's boy with a good education.

I may be a vain person, but I'm not a vain performer.

Fatherhood didnt change me in the beginning very much.

Fatherhood didn't change me in the beginning very much.

If someone messes with me, I'm going to mess with them.

I'm not really rebellious. People think I am, but I'm not.

I shot a couple of movies in jail, but I was never in jail.

It's just acting. I take acting seriously but up to a point.

I'm from Detroit. I was from a kind of violent neighbourhood.

I read a lot. I am an inveterate reader. I always have a novel going.

A lot of acting, and I believe this, is either you can do it or you can't.

I'm a very fortunate actor. I'm blessed to be the position I'm in right now.

I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.

I like to touch things. In my house I have a lot of velvet drapes and thick, lush couches.

It was dog food. Beef livers with onions in a can. You open it up and it looks like vomit.

I'm trying to reestablish my career and do great work and give my kids the life they deserve.

I was an anomaly because my father was a Harvard man, and he came from a family of poor people.

I weighed 190 when I got to boot camp, I came out at 178. I ate only the beans and tomato sauce.

I was a wayward kid, a rambunctious and angry teenager, but I found acting as a fifteen-year-old.

Temptation is impossible for me to resist Come on. This is Hollywood. It's in the job description.

I know a lot about the Battle of the Bulge, and a lot about World War II from 'Saving Private Ryan.'

Temptation is impossible for me to resist... Come on. This is Hollywood. It's in the job description.

Although I get so much fan mail from Great Britain, tell me, am I more famous there than Michael Madsen?

My wife and I are a team, and it's good for my work because I'm interested in working from a stable base.

Some actors try to play parts and do things they can't do. Being funny is one of them. Being funny's hard.

Now, if I think a scene should go a certain way and it goes another, I'm able to go that new way with ease.

Being alone is scarier than any boogey man and the reason why I don't choose to see Horror movies as a rule.

Although my mother and father were both completely legit, it was all around me, this crime and licentiousness.

I wanted to get on with my life when I was 16. I knew I wanted to be an actor. I wanted to get out of Detroit.

I play tough guys in movies and behaved like one in front of the press because I thought that was what a man did.

Acting is never done. We're trying to keep it real and make sure that you're entertained and it seems unrehearsed.

I like Michael Bay a whole lot. And Jerry Bruckheimer. But I love Ben Affleck as a person, as a director, as an actor.

I have tried to make decisions to work with great directors, with good scripts, and that makes the pickings real slim.

I know that 20 years from now if anyone asks me one question, it will be, 'What was it like to be in Saving Private Ryan?

I didn't come to Hollywood to drink or get high, and I don't want to be considered a cool actor - I want to be a great actor.

Katherine Heigl was a movie star. I thought she was going to be one, and it was fun to watch this young actress getting better every day.

When I was a teenager, you wanted to go to the movies. Go and see 'Mean Streets,' go and see 'The Conversation,' go and see 'Taxi Driver.'

Actors have to make you believe that it's happening for the first time and all that jazz and make it human and at the same time entertain you.

I don't know if people know that Sylvester Stallone is one of the most decent gentlemen that I've ever met. He's the most consistent friend I've ever had.

I have an idealistic approach to acting. I want to be great at it, but you can't be great if the scripts are not there and the director doesn't know what he's doing.
