I'm Richie Rich. I land in New York, secretly thinking I'm like the coolest guy in the world.

Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.

I had learned something of Miami from people who had visited there, so I knew what to expect.

Since I couldn't actuate the things that I wanted to do, the only weapon I had was to say no.

Getting to know where we come from is a really profound way of getting to look at who we are.

The first time I saw Istvan Szabo's 'Mephisto,' I came out and I was in shock. I was shaking.

Jesus isn't a logo, I'm not promoting some company, some brand. I'm just professing my faith.

My first manager was this lady named Booh Schut. She actually worked with me on my auditions.

I don't think Jack Nicholson has ever called me Stephen. He's like, 'Hey, Dorff. How are ya?'

I didn't know any actors growing up. My dad was a builder, and we didn't know any arty types.

If you haven't done shows that are on everyone's radar, then you're something out of nowhere.

Being a leading man... that's like saying I want to be astronaut. That's not going to happen.

A woman can't change a man because she loves him. A man changes himself because he loves her.

I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.

I never touched a gun in my life. That and that alone forever doomed me to middle management.

I was born with a serious spiritual consciousness and for many years studied different paths.

When you see me on TV as Stone Cold Steve Austin, that's definitely a part of my personality.

I think if I'd never had found pro wrestling, I'd be a blue collar guy, working a 9-to-5 job.

Usually, family films have characters speaking with each other with much dignity and respect.

In fact, every day I'll read a chapter of some art book. I don't know why. It's just a habit.

I'd live in a museum if I could. I used to spend hours and hours in the Museum of Modern Art.

Yogi Bear changed my life in ways that I can't explain because it's not a full feature on me.

I do comedy to give people an ephemeral escape from the tragedy that permeates everyday life.

I'm a stand-up. I'm never worried about getting my next role. That's never distressing to me.

I want to play real characters rather than young leads in very plotty things. I want variety.

I did almost two years on 'One Life to Live,' so I was thinking, 'Oh yeah, I'm an actor now.'

You can't expect the entire world to come to New York to see you. You have to travel to them.

Charleston is an amazing place. I probably didn't appreciate it enough when I was growing up.

Sometimes, when comedians get success, they don't do as much weird stuff as they normally do.

'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' was this role that utterly fell into my lap and changed my life.

Life has its ups and downs, so to expect otherwise is setting yourself up for disappointment.

You always get told how important the premiere and doing the press is, but I have suspicions.

When you're a drama student, I think the most you hope for is to make a living out of acting.

I'm doing 'Alvin and the Chipmunks.' I get to play the bad guy. That's a nice change of pace.

Whatever I did on 'Saturday Night Live' is going to stay and remain on 'Saturday Night Live.'

Where I'm from, you go to college, become a carpenter or something, and stay in the district.

Well, I've got two small children and this is a very important time for me to be around them.

I entertain for a living and I role-play for a living and I can’t help but continue to do it.

I've never chased money. It's always been about what I can do to motivate and inspire people.

I haven't had a worst business decision, because I believe all things work together for good.
