Every day my mother had tea. My dad has his ritual cigar. They had their evening cocktail. Those rituals were done nicely, with flair and feeling.
You feel alive to the degree that you feel you can help others.
I was always a character actor, basically, that sometimes looks like a leading man.
The good and wonderful thing about my whole career is that I've always felt that the audience, if I do it well, will track wherever I go, whether it's President or a lawyer or bad guy or good.
I am not at all computer literate in real life. I haven't yet found a reason to be. Once I find a reason why I need to be on the Internet, then I will be.
Oh yeah, dancing's part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.
When I was 8, I got a little toy propeller plane: You could turn it on and the people disappeared from the little windows and stewardesses appeared, and it ran along the ground.
When I was a very little boy, I lived underneath the air pattern of LaGuardia airport in New York and I watched the planes fly to their destinations. I was in love with the design of these airplanes.
I was suited for fame, and I mean that in the most non-egocentric way. I don't mind gearing my life towards privacy. It's my nature.
Having kids is something you can't always do. Kids are like lightning. You grab that lightning when you can get it.
I'm definitely working class, and I still believe in those values. I know that losing everything would not be an unfamiliar feeling. Meaning, if you don't have it anymore, you didn't have it to begin with.
It's the interviewee's job to know that his privacy is going to be invaded on some level. Otherwise, you are better off not doing the interview.
People make judgments about Scientology, but often they don't know what they're talking about.
I'm willing to look my own nightmare on film, but if it endangers my life, then I'm willing to put my life before movies.
I've done so many interviews that I've gotten past the ego and the personality.
With some actors, you can tell when they're acting all by themselves, no matter who else is in the screen.
A lot of actors never talk to other actors about how they're doing things, or why. I think it's important to share the way you're thinking.
I played football in the ninth and 10th grade. I looked a lot like Joe Namath, so I think my looks got me there more than my abilities.
You can't control the quality of projects that are coming to you, so if you get several in a row that are quality, you take them.
I actually do like playing off-beat people. I think it's more fun.
I've always thought of, of a relationship with an actor to an audience as a marriage, you know. And a story, you know. And there are ups and downs, and you work through them, and you work with them.
I wouldn't trade my career with anybody's. I'd trade a few movies with Tom Hanks - 'Apollo 13' and 'Forrest Gump' - but other than that, I love my career.
I'm not big on sequels; I've done them, but I like doing little things that have their own timelessness to them, classic type things, and then you go onto something new.
I love fun movies that also have something to say. They tend to stay with me, always.
My kids probably stay up too late. My wife goes to bed around 3 A.M., and I follow around 7 A.M., but it works.
I believe L. Ron Hubbard resolved the human mind, and in resolving it he has also resolved human pain - that's what I really think has happened here.
My son was autistic, and he suffered from seizure disorder every 5 to 10 days. He would suffer a seizure that would last 45 seconds to a minute and sleep for 12 hours.
Scientology is one of the least homophobic religions. It's not very interested in the body at all.
Autism and seizures are the least known areas of illnesses.
I've always had an innate ability to dance, but I'm not as spiffy as those cinema legends like Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.
