The only way to get a serious message across is through comedy

I like crying. And now I not only wanna cry and show my crying to other people, I wanna just split myself down the middle and open my guts and just throw everything out!

We don't get the greatest tools to deal with anger. It's like, 'Hey, count to 10.' When someone really upsets me, how do I respond? I don't usually start counting to 10 and breathing deeply.

I’m not a Twinkie lover. I don’t do sugar or dairy either.

I think it's wonderful to be here. And what a beautiful city you have here.

I suppose maybe [Wilson] would be a better person if he were able to censor himself, but then he wouldn't be as interesting.

It's an odd beast, fame. It's got multiple personalities.

[Wilson] has this strange inability to censor himself, and he'll say these things that are sometimes quite caustic or end up creating some kind of violent reaction, you know. But, you know, I admire that.

Natural Born Killers is really a misunderstood romantic comedy.

I wish I'd done 'Dumb and Dumber.' I was offered the part, but I don't think I'd have been better than Jeff Daniels was. Another film I wish I'd done was 'Jerry Maguire.'

I really liked playing [Wilson]. I started to really - I mean, I think the thing about him is he's not really a curmudgeon, he's very gregarious. And he's a people person.

We've killed a million Iraqis since the start of the Gulf war - mostly by blocking humanitarian aid.

I think the world's still gonna be here in another 10, 20 years. But I'm not feeling great about things ecologically.

The only thing that's problematic is the constant explaining, the constant need to kind of go, No, I don't want that because of such and such. I feel like I'm a pain in the ass, and I don't like being difficult.

I'm an anarchist and I do think things such as Occupy Wall Street are about getting a little closer to the solution.

I'm not a time person. A watch is not good for me.

I think I've been an incredible example to my kids of what not to do.

I'm one of those actors who is going to come in with 2,500 ideas. You can shoot down 2,499, but one of them you're going to like.

It's the best thing going, parenthood.

I've been vegan for about 10 and a half years. It's been all good. I'm obviously much healthier

This is a racist and imperialist war. The warmongers who stole the White House have hijacked a nation's grief and turned it into a perpetual war on any non-white country they choose to describe as terrorist.

Ive always believed the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

Any movie's only as good as the director.

It’s not who you want to spend Friday night with. It’s who you want to spend all day Saturday with.

And you call yourselves a bowling alley?

I admire people who just speak the truth.

A moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers.

The forests are the lungs of the world. I’ve always believed if you breathe, you’re an environmentalist.

You know you are in love when the two of you can go grocery shopping together.

It's not terrible, people telling you you're great; what's terrible is when you start believing it.

I don't believe in politics. I'm an anarchist, I guess you could say. I think people could be just fine looking after themselves.

I do sometimes lecture people about what they're eating, but that's only if they ask me.

I try to apply the organic concept to my clothes and bedding as well. There's nothing like swimming in organic cotton sheets.

I try not to spend too much time with regret, although I wish I'd had more hang time with my dad.

I wish I'd done 'Dumb and Dumber.' I was offered the part, but I don't think I'd have been better than Jeff Daniels was. Another film I wish I'd done was 'Jerry Maguire.'

Sometimes I feel people think I live on a commune but I don't. We are all solar, though. There are no power lines. It's mostly farmers, so everyone who has tractors uses bio-diesel.

I think I've been an incredible example to my kids of what not to do.

I'm not a Twinkie lover. I don't do sugar or dairy either.

I used to eat burgers and steak, and I would just be knocked out afterward; I had to give it up.

Two boxes of Step Forward Paper saves one tree - that's a real stat.

On 'The Messenger,' just imagining playing the part of a soldier in that movie was kind of hard for me. And in 'Rampart,' the idea of playing a cop was even harder. It was hard to imagine myself as a cop.

You can do a movie and hope it may be great, but until you have seen it, you don't know. I loved 'Rampart.' I love that one called 'The Hi-Low Country' that Steven Frears shot.

I was a freshman in college in 1980, the year that Reagan was elected, and I went around badgering people to vote for him.

To me, I think it's this thing of everyone wanting to make Jesus the Son of God and Jesus the only way to God that is the thing that no longer makes me want to be a Christian.

I've been in so many good movies that I felt like nobody saw; it's a pretty dreadful feeling.

You know, I was on 'Cheers' for eight years, and I couldn't get another job, and I thought, 'I'm going to be Woody Boyd forever.' Which is not bad, but I really thought I was capable of more.
