 Family is not an important thing, it's everything. |
| I'm kind of private and I keep things inside a lot, but it's been so wonderful to realize that people care about you in a very deep way and that there is some bond between an actor and his audience. I don't even know how to describe that feeling. |
| I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to make those three films that didn't do well. They were really important to me, and the things I learned doing them were important to me. |
| I'm going to marry a Jewish woman because I like the idea of getting up Sunday morning and going to the deli. |
| Medical science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of disease can occur. |
| After a year or so I really thought I was Howard Hughes. Here I was at eighteen years old, getting all these checks. |
| Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all. |
| The laughs mean more to me than the adoration. If two girls walk up to me and one says 'you're cute', I'll say thank you, but I appreciate it much more when the other one says 'you make me laugh so much'. |
| Pain is temporary, film is forever. |
| I got sick of turning on the TV and seeing my face. |
| Tracy is more a help to me than I am to her. |
| In my 50s I'll be dancing at my children's weddings. |
| I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business. |
| The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It's got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot. |
| I love the irony. I'm perceived as being really young and yet I have the clinical condition of an old man. |
| Everybody in the world knew I was before I knew who I was. |
| What other people think about me is not my business. |
| You've probably read in People that I'm a nice guy - but when the doctor first told me I had Parkinson's, I wanted to kill him. |
| I don't want people to kick my ass, I just want to get to a point where they can't kick it. |
| You know what I want? The answer is, I truly don't know what I want. I don't want to do a television series. I want to do dramas as well as comedies, but I have no idea what kind or in what order. Just give me the chance at them. |
