Sometimes I Wonder Will God Ever Forgive

I Think It's A Real Danger, As An Actor, When You Try To Make Some Statement Through Your Career About What The Business Should Be Doing Or Ultimately What Your Image Should Be Or How You Want To Be Perceived. I Look At Every Project That Comes Along And Say, "is This Something I Can Sink My Teeth Into And Can Do A Good Job On?" That's Really How I Choose Roles.

I Insist On Keeping A Level Head. I've Maintained The Same Exact Home Life That I’ve Had For 20 Years. All I See Is More People Looking At Me Than Before. But, You Know, Who Cares? You Just Can't Obsess Yourself With This Fame Stuff.

When A Role For A Young Guy Is Being Offered To Me, I Think Of River Phoenix. It Feels Like A Loss.

[success] Always Starts With The Material; It Always Starts With The Truth And Honesty Of The Characters That You Read In The Screenplay And That's Rarely Something That Can Be Remedied If It's Simply Not There By The Time You Shoot The Film. Thank God We Had That.

I'm Never Really Conscious Of Saying, "i'm Going To Take On A Specific Role To Combat A Certain Image In The Public Eye." I Think That's Pretty Manipulative And Transparent To The Public Anyway.
