Everything I do, I'm sort of half in, half out. |
Sometimes I try to improve the language, the lines, or the delivery, but I don't ad-lib because I think that makes it really hard for everybody else involved. |
The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away. |
What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily. |
If I were a serious person, I'd probably have a real job. |
I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years. |
Bikes and planes aren't about going fast or having fun; they're toys, but serious ones. |
It's very little trouble for me to accomodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time. |
Some actors couldn't figure out how to withstand the constant rejection. They couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. |
My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor. |
I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of. |
My character is meant to know nothing about rap, and not to like it very much, but I know about it, because my kids make me listen to it. There's some rap I do like very much. I like Eminem, Blackalicious. |
The kindest word to describe my performance in school was Sloth. |
I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.' |
If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that. |
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them. |
Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices. |
I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship. |
I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored. |
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him. |
