The beauty of football is that it's about 11, and another five, at least, are sitting outside. You cannot get competitive.

I love 'Drake and Josh.' It's supposed to have a demographic of ages 9-14, but really, it's 9-84. There is no demographic.

I am 'Mr. Karaoke Guy' in the car completely. I just go with it and don't care what anyone else thinks - I'm singing, man!

When I was 5, I did a commercial for Whirlpool sitting on a tree stump eating a popsicle that dripped all over my clothes.

Look at The Rock's competition! Look at him! It looks like a big monkey came down here, took a crap, and out came Mankind!

I'm always one who will lash out at anyone hurts my friends, viciously, kind of. I'm very protective of the people I love.

I think the accent is what a lot of people find attractive. If you take the accent away, I'm a very troll-like individual.

I like the glamorous indie rock look, like The Libertines. But you know, without the heroin needle sticking out of my arm.

The characters in 'Ray Donovan' are not very articulate - we're the worst Irish family you could ever live next to in L.A.

I just wanted to let all our fans know that there is nothing to be alarmed about because our faces are 100% .....Ass Free.

I suffer from Irish-Catholic guilt. Guilt is a good reality check. It keeps that ‘do what makes you happy’ thing in check.

Our inability to relate to one another is very, very, very important. When we don't have it, we get situations like Bosnia

What does it take to get you to the point where you have to kill your brother? It's biblical, it's huge. It's so personal.

I'm still fighting for parts - it's not like I'm sitting with a big pile of scripts putting them in a 'yes' and 'no' pile.

Top Model' is pretty good, because it gives these girls an opportunity to chase their passion and possibly get a contract.

You know, I'm not making top dollar, but when you're making top dollar, there are a lot of people waiting for you to fall.

Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this?

Sometimes it'll happen to people, that their self will stop coming through. And people will just cease to understand them.

I can be very difficult if people are not professional, or lazy - or the opposite, which is take themselves too seriously.

I did a lot of 'NYPD Blues' and 'Law & Orders' and a couple of other ones that were shot in New York earlier in my career.

I'm not saying 'The Godfather' trilogy was bad - because it was brilliant - but that was fiction. It was based on reality.

After working with Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, and Jonathan Mangum, I said, 'I am never going to talk about improv again.'

That's always a funny thing, when people think they're known for every little thing they ever did, and they're really not.

Bob Balaban is so perfect that the first movie I did with him, I couldn't talk to him because I was so intimidated by him.

If anyone can crack the publicity nut and figure out how to not come across hammy and contrived, I'd love to talk to them.

I was never late to a show more often than 'La Cage.' Because I lived close, and I didn't really do anything in that show.

I want to be respected by my peers and do really great work, even if it gets panned, even if I get raked across the coals.

Stage actors look down on movie actors, movie actors look down on TV actors, and TV actors look down on... mass murderers.

When I'm 80 and sagging all over, I can tell my grandkids, 'Look, when I was a lad, 'People' magazine thought I was sexy!'

I seem to be incapable of playing that guy that always does the right thing, who always responds well in any circumstance.

When you look at a film like 'The Ides of March' or 'Good Night, and Good Luck' even, those are really contained pictures.

I can't not find humor in elements of most parts of life, but at the same time nothing ever seems perpetually funny to me.

A movie that gets a PG-13 rating can show someone running down a street killing 27 people. And there are no repercussions.

I'm a futurist. Technology is our way out of almost every problem we have. Technology can create a new sense of community.

Find the most talented person in the room and if it's not you, go stand next to him. Hang out with him. try to be helpful.

There is no answer. That's what Buddhism says. The Void, oblivion, no answer. To be in that state is an enlightened state.

I love my little flat in Spitalfields. Lots of actors live out of a suitcase, so it's nice to have a base to come back to.
