I always thought of myself as some sort of athlete until I started playing golf a couple years ago.
You have to be very careful when you let someone win.
I remember at 16 years old, growing up in Queens, we were punks, but hey, when we went to the theater, we wore a shirt and tie! Similarly, I believe that to keep movie theaters in existence, they're gonna have to make 'em an event, have a couch, a table and drinks or something. Otherwise, there's no reason to get out of your bed!
I'm sort of a Walter Mitty. I got fewer brain cells than most people, so when I got friendly with cowboys, I started rodeoing. When I was calf-roping, there was something about the dirt that made me feel clean.
Sure, I want to be the best actor in the world. But my life is my family, my son, my friends. I don't know how anyone can find fault with that.
Saving a letter from an old friend doesn't exist anymore. Everything is texted or emailed.
I've been lucky. The critics never went out of their way to single me out for doing bad work.
There's a big difference between wanting to work and having to work. And I had to learn that the hard way. Now money is very important to me, because I ain't got it.
You're the only one who's closing your eyes at night. There's no one else who can do it for you.
Unless I love something or hate it, I don't want to deal with it.
I don't think silicone makes a girl good or bad.
People are always backing up when I'm just going to shake their hands.
Anyone of my generation who tells you he hasn't 'done Brando' is lying.
It's a very charming movie about the mob - a real stretch for me.
I never rode a bull - I'm not that stupid.
My kid was a great baseball player. I thought I had it made. Front-row seats at Yankee Stadium. Then he turned sixteen and wanted to be a rapper.
One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding?
There are a lot of guys in Hollywood who clap you on the back just a little too hard.
I've never been difficult to anybody or with anybody on a picture. Especially when you're in that nice status of hierarchy of actors and actresses who get to approve directors. Because once you make that choice, it's my belief that the director's boss.
Some guys say beauty is only skin deep. But when you walk into a party, you don't see somebody's brain. The initial contact has to be the sniffing.
People say, 'Gee, you do a lot of mafia movies.' I think I've done two, out of 60.
I lost my passion for work. No, that's a negative statement. I just had a bigger passion for something else, for my son, and growing up with him.
