I tell young people, including my own kids, don't do this, it's too difficult. It's a career full of rejection, disappointment and failure. It's murderously hard on the ego. Don't become an actor.

I went to - I got a wonderful college education. I went to Harvard. In those four years, I accumulated a lot of knowledge, but I also created a kind of habit of learning that has stayed with me my whole life.

My hairline is receding. So my days as a romantic lead - even though I've never had them - are behind me.

Everybody's a dreamer.

I'm very concerned for the future of the earth and its amazing creatures. We've got to be careful and make sure we don't foul our own nest.

I owe my whole career as a storyteller to my father. He was an actor/director/producer and teacher.

We moved around a lot when I was growing up. I was always the new kid in class, but I was good at making friends. With an upbringing like that, I was either going to become an actor or a politician. Thank God I became an actor! I'm not cut out for politics.

Academics tend to have wonderfully infantile senses of humor.

I'm a fun father, but not a good father. The hard decisions always went to my wife.
