I have an idea for a movie called 'The Walken Dead' which is about a town where, instead of zombies, everyone becomes Chris Walken.

I think 'Dead Poets' was probably my favorite, just to get started with the idea of doing a movie that people treated as more than a movie.

A lot of vets like 'Good Morning Vietnam' - I get great letters from guys.

I loved running, but all of a sudden everything hurt so much. I started cycling when Zelda was born.

The 'Aladdin' thing - that's not work; that's just fun. Three days in the recording studio going mad, then the animators do all the work. Not a bad way to cash a large check, my friend.

The idea of Juilliard was that it would give you this toolbox full of skills that you could take with you and apply to anything.

In 'The Secret Agent,' it's basically a character that was admired by Theodore Kaczynski, which is some fan mail you don't really want to open. This is a man who is a chemist and who specializes in making bombs and despises humanity.

Politics is so personal, vicious and immediate, how are you going to get anything done? Even the local politics where I live have gotten so ugly.

I write on big yellow legal pads - ideas in outline form when I'm doing stand-up and stuff. It's vivid that way. I can't type it into an iPad - I think that would put a filter into the process.

I don't have a college degree, and my father didn't have a college degree, so when my son, Zachary, graduated from college, I said, 'My boy's got learnin'!'

I've never been asked to appear on 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!,' so I guess I mustn't be on the professional skids just yet.

In the process of looking for comedy, you have to be deeply honest. And in doing that, you'll find out here's the other side. You'll be looking under the rock occasionally for the laughter.

I started doing comedy because that was the only stage that I could find. It was the pure idea of being on stage. That was the only thing that interested me, along with learning the craft and working, and just being in productions with people.

Sometimes you have to make a movie to make money.

I bought one of the first Nintendo systems and brought that home, and we were playing 'Legend of Zelda' at the time, and it was addicting, and I was playing it for hours and hours and hours.

I've had a lot of people tell me they watched 'Old Dogs' with their kids and had a good time.

I think it's great when stories are dark and strange and weirdly personal.

Winning an Oscar is an honor, but, between you and me, it does not makes things easier.

With film roles, it just has to be a character either I haven't done before, or a role with somebody really interesting or with an interesting person or group of people.

You can start any 'Monty Python' routine and people finish it for you. Everyone knows it like shorthand.

The Russians love Brooke Shields because her eyebrows remind them of Leonid Brezhnev.

I knew Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were really talented. As actors, they were both studly young men, and they had great writers' chops.

I'm much more open to being a supporting actor right now. At the age of 60, I'll be second fiddle. Fine. I'm happy to do it.

You'll notice that Nancy Reagan never drinks water when Ronnie speaks.

The bad thing about being a famous comedian is that every now and then someone approaches me to tell an old joke. Don't tell me jokes - I have that. People also say the weirdest things, sometimes sarcastic things, and even evil things. They like to provoke to get a reaction.

Acting is different from stand-up. It gives you this ability to enter into another character, to create another person.

My style is bad white-boy dancing. I can do swing a little bit, but nothing beyond that. My solo dancing is sad. I use my arms, badly.

I have a difficult time doing an Irish accent; even now, it kind of fades slowly into Scottish.

There's a show in America where all these people compete with ferrets, and they don't even do anything. They basically just hold them up, and if they don't bite you, they might win.

I enjoy performing for heavily armed people. It's easier than going to Georgia.

I was only a leading man for a minute; now I'm a character actor.

From the day I arrived, I could see City's project was destined to be a success and the club would grow - but I didn't think it would be quite so fast.

I am a special footballer, and I need to be happy when I'm playing.

I used the bus when I was growing up in Brazil. I don't want to diminish anyone who travels on the bus, but I haven't done that for a long time.

Sometimes I am questioned why I play better for the national squad than at Manchester City. I am the same at both places, but City is one team, and the Brazil national squad is another.

I'm blessed in that I have a family that has always helped me in everything I ever needed.

I feel happy here and want to stay in Milan for ten seasons and then retire at the age of 36.

I don't regret the decision to leave Madrid, only the way that I left, which wasn't the best.

I saw United matches on TV as a kid in Sao Paulo. I loved watching Ruud van Nistelrooy. He was a hero for me because of the way he scored goals in all competitions.

Winning a derby is always a beautiful thing.

I want to win the Scudetto.

Of course I would like to play for Barcelona. Who wouldn't?

I am footballer, not a public relations person.

I am Brazilian, and I can't offer my best performance if I'm not happy in every aspect of life.

Since I've been in Manchester, people recognise me all the time in the city. And they have been very kind to me.

Real are the best club in the world. Any footballer dreams about playing there, and I am no different.

I've played three seasons at Real Madrid; I've given my all. I've scored goals, I've won two leagues, and that's not easy.

I have played for the national team many times, so I am used to good things - and bad things - being said about me.

You can only be content with winning.

The Premier League is very strong, physical football, and I am not a strong player.
