Never knew how poor I was until I started making money.
For an actor, its great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks. Audiences love to hate them.
Being single is pretty good. It’s a nice sense of irresponsibility.
It’s all about bucks, kid. The rest is conversation.
What’s worth doing is worth doing for money.
Relationships are like bubbles – they’re fragile.
It’s difficult for me to meet women because my crowd is much older. I know that for some of the young women I do meet, a relationship with me can be envisioned as a benefit to their career.
The one thing that men and women have in common – they both like the company of men.
Money itself isn’t lost or made. It’s simply transferred from one perception to another.
My brain cannot conceive how old my body is.
Every empire eventually falls.
I thought I could never be the actor Dad was, so I avoided it for a while.
Sometimes we spend more efforts with people that are strangers in terms of making an impression than the person that’s closest to us. And you just got to remember not to take for granted that person that’s closest to you.

Even when you’re acting with a producing hat, when you’re in every scene, you’re really conscious of trying to make everybody as good as they are, because ultimately you’re trying to make the best movie possible.
It’s a phenomenon that I see with young actors – a lot of American speaking parts going to British actors.
Everybody knows about Las Vegas. It’s a state of mind. Some people want to come with their kids and have a great weekend. Some people want to shop. Some people want to find hookers. Some people want to eat. Some people just want to gamble. It’s a potpourri of decadence.
My entire career is contemporary based, not by choice, but just by character. So, all the movies I’ve done, except for one in 40 years, are contemporary. But I never did an effects movie. So, I’m also a producer and I was really curious about how this whole thing went together.
Basketball is great; no one in Europe seems to believe just how close the spectators can sit to the players.
You have to make entertaining movies. But like a good meal, it’s nice to have a little food for thought after you walk out of the theater rather than just wiling away a couple of hours.
I fell asleep to the sounds of the end of the world.
