Eating ice cream and not exercising is great. The downside is your health isn't so good.

My wife holds the kite strings that let me go 'weeeeeee', then she reels me back in.

As an actor, a role can be a great excuse not to be in shape. I mean, you wouldn't want to see the Dude with a six-pack, so you eat that Haagen-Dazs. My weight goes up and down.

The Widelux is a fickle mistress; its viewfinder isn't accurate, and there's no manual focus, so it has an arbitrariness to it, a capricious quality. I like that.

I've got to watch my back, so I can't put on too much weight.

We're such a funky species. We're so violent, so greedy - this is how we roll. But what are we going to do about it? How do we move forward given who we are? Because situations don't come out of nothing. They come out of certain conditions.

The wonderful thing about acting is that you can use all of your talents and interests in your work.

I am a product of nepotism. I don't think I would have had the profession that I'm in currently... if it wasn't for my dad.

As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.

There is one particular argument that I call our 'ancient war.' If it could be summed up in one phrase, it would be, 'You don't get it. You don't understand what it's like to be me living with you.' There is such truth in that statement. None of us can really appreciate what it is like to be the other person, what that point of view feels like.

I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.

I had a great '70s. I survived it, and that's always good news.

Just a couple of minutes ago, I signed a couple of bowling pins for some people. That's a normal thing. Somebody will hand me something and say, 'Draw a picture! Draw the Dude!' They're probably selling them on eBay or something.

My wife, whenever I'd go off to work and I'd be kind of anxious, she'll say, 'Remember, have fun.' Oh, I forgot, thanks for the reminder. Because sometimes we do forget. We take it all too seriously and there's a lot of joy to be had wherever you are.

I don't think I ever went down that movie star path. I always enjoy taking a 90-degree turn from the last thing I did.

That movie, 'Airplane!,' what a landmark film it was. It's a great, great movie.

I think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.
