 Ya know what I do almost every day? I wash. Personal hygiene is part of the package with me. |
| Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. |
| It was such a leap in my career when 'Truman Show' came along. It's always been a long process for me insofar as recognition goes, but that's OK because you appreciate it when it comes. |
| Morgan Freeman is so class. He's so cool. He's so scary. |
| It's hard for anybody who's been with me not to feel starved for affection when I'm making love to my ideas. Maybe it's not meant for me to settle down and be married. |
| I've never been one to sit back and go, 'I'd better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don't want to lose them.' |
| If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret. |
| I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting. |
| My report card always said, 'Jim finishes first and then disrupts the other students'. |
| I'm a hard guy to live with. I'm like a caged animal. I'm up all night walking around the living room. It's hard for me to come down from what I do. |
| What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started. |
| I've tried everything. I've done therapy, I've done colonics. I went to a psychic who had me running around town buying pieces of ribbon to fill the colors in my aura. Did the Prozac thing. |
| My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian. |
| I absolutely want to have a career where you make'em laugh and make'em cry. It's all theater. |
| I don't make it in regular channels, and that's okay for me. |
| I haven't been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I've been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don't blow money. I don't have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I've already had that experience. |
| It's nice to finally get scripts offered to me that aren't the ones Tom Hanks wipes his butt with. |
| A lot of good love can happen in ten years. |
| We had problems like all families but we had a lot of love. I was extremely loved. We always felt we had each other. |
| I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself. |
