I'd like to think I could do something great - a performance like Meryl Streep's in 'Sophie's Choice' - at some point in my life. At the same time, though, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself to be great.
I always say that life is not easy for anybody. People hear about the young actors who have a rough life, but there are plenty of other kids who aren't actors who have a rough time, too, and I don't know if the ratio is any different.

No, the Boss corrected, I'm not a lawyer. I know some law. ... but I'm not a lawyer. That's why I can see what the law is like. It's like a single-bed blanket on a double bed and three folks in the bed and a cold night. There ain't ever enough blanke...
In business or in life, don't follow the wagon tracks too closely.
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
Even now I can't trust life. It did too many awful things to me as a kid.

Life is those moments when we forget to live but are too busy to enjoy.
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
