Sobriety was the greatest gift I ever gave myself.
I am the guy dressing up in, you know, the caveman outfit for the kids birthday parties.
I have had a lot of blessed, interesting things happen to me and have bumped up against some amazing people.
Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?
Last night, we were all watching Harry Potter in bed, and I thought, ‘This isn’t something you have when you’re single, that’s for sure.’
I don’t look back with any bitterness, though there are a couple of judgment calls and some ’80s hairdos that I’d like to do over.
When I was a teen idol, I was so goddamn pretty I wouldn’t have taken myself seriously.
I believe in ceremony. I think ceremony is important, pomp and circumstance, tradition. I’m into those things.
My looks have prevented people from seeing my work.
Of the many horrors of divorce, the most egregious is that it robs a kid of the best of both worlds. Dads can do many things that even the best moms can’t, and vice versa.
I think part of maturity is knowing who you are.
To achieve longevity you will have cycles. No one gets there in one straight shot.
I wouldn’t go back on my old days, though; everybody needs to have their wild years. It’s just a question of when and I’d rather have had them early than be doing it as a mid-life crisis type thing.
Being pulled that long and that hard for a 12-hour day gave me migraines. It’s what they used to do before there were facelifts for actresses – you know, Joan Crawford’s whole career was this. Then the makeup is like Earl Scheib auto body paint sprayed on my face.
When I was young and crazy, I was young and crazy. It can be hard enough just to BE in your teens and 20s. Then add fame, money, access, and every single person telling you that you’re the greatest person who ever was, and it can be a recipe for disaster. Some people literally don’t survive it.
The ’80s were about trying to establish myself as an actor with a career. And being a teenager enjoying the fruits of being successful with lots of what I think is appropriate for that age.
I have a lot of great memories, but I can’t imagine anything more exciting than the life I have now.
I’ll be sober ten years and married nine soon.
Sampling, statisticians have told us, is a much more effective way of getting a good census.
Show me someone who doesn’t have some sort of experience that they would be uncomfortable for people to know about and I’ll show you a dullard.
When I hear that I realize how quickly time passes and how everybody goes on their journeys and they’re always unbelievable and they never go where you think they’re going to take you and, quite frankly, it also makes me feel a little old.
