I had done a bunch of stuff before I even went to Disney. I'm so grateful for what Disney gave me and the experiences that I got, but at the end of the day, I can do so much more than what I did on that channel and in those movies.

Before I'd written movies, I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.
Had I not done Shakespeare, Pinter, Moliere and things such as 'Godspell' - I played Judas in a hugely successful production before I did 'Elm Street' - I'd probably be on a psychiatrist's couch saying: 'Freddy ruined me.' But I'd already done 13 mov...
For me, to do a reality show is like sending myself to actor's graveyard. I feel like I should wait and create my own projects... do independent movies before I would have to go and do reality shows. Or produce one and come up with one on my own!

[before leaving] Dilios: Sire, any message...? King Leonidas: For the Queen? [Dilios nods. Leonidas removes the wolf's fang pendant from around his neck, and presses it into Dilios's hand] King Leonidas: None that need be spoken.
Robin Hood: Give way, little man. Little John: Only to a better man than meself. Robin Hood: He stands before you.
Ripley: When we throw the switches, how long before the ship blows? Parker: Ten minutes. Ripley: No bullshit? Parker: We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space.
Gorman: Morning, Marines. I'm sorry we didn't have time to brief you people before we left Gateway, but... Hudson: Sir? Gorman: What is it, Hicks? Hudson: Hudson, sir. [points] Hudson: He's Hicks.
Mortimer Brewster: I probably should have told you this before but, you see, well... insanity runs in my family. [He hears Abby and Martha singing] Mortimer Brewster: It practically gallops!
Roller Bull: You better hurry before Wizard shows. He'll be pissed when he sees you bought a pie! Arthur: I didn't take no family money. Citizen bought it.
Robbie Turner: I won't say a word. Robbie Turner: Wake me before 7:00, would you? Thanks so much. Robbie Turner: You won't hear another word from me. Promise.
Young Cop: It's gonna be an hour before they can scramble the national guard! Police Sergeant: National Guard? Does the army know what's happening here? Young Cop: Do we?
Francesca: And in that moment, everything I knew to be true about myself up until then was gone. I was acting like another woman, yet I was more myself than ever before.
Butch Cassidy: Kid, there's something I ought to tell you. I never shot anybody before. Sundance Kid: One hell of a time to tell me!
Redmond Barry: It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty. I knew Sir Charles Lyndon before his passing. King George III: We were very fond of Sir Charles Lyndon.
Celine: If there's any kind of magic in this world... it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know it's almost impossible to succeed... but who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.
Jesse: Why is it, that a dog, sleeping in the sun, is so beautiful, y'know, it is, it's beautiful, but a guy, standing at a bank machine, trying to take some money out, looks like a complete moron?
Celine: I see it in the people that do the real work, and what's sad in a way is that the people that are the most giving, hardworking, and capable of making this world better, usually don't have the ego and ambition to be a leader.
