• Asked whether it was true that Nicole Kidman bet him that he would be married by the time he was 40: “She did. And now I'm 41, Nicole sent me a check for $10,000. I mailed it back and wrote, 'Double or nothing for another 10 years.'"
• On being one Hollywood’s most eligible hunks: "I've literally gone out to dinner and a girl comes over to the table and says, 'Can I have a kiss?' She leans over, gives me a kiss, I go back to the house, and the photograph is on the TV. It's hysterical."
• "I don't care a lot about my looks, I don't even have a personal stylist. It is unmanly and unsexy if you always worry about it."
• "People's misery becoming entertainment, that's what's dangerous. And that seems to be the place we're going. I worry about television." (n reference to talk shows, game shows and reality TV which made fun of ordinary people)
• "I've never been to the Oscars. They ask me every year to present an award, but that's not right. You should go when you're nominated. Not before."
• "When you're the director you're suddenly doing all the things directors do to you. You're manipulating actors and asking them to do things that you hate them to ask you to do. It was the first and last time I think I'll direct."
• (Discussing possible casting choices Mel Gibson and Nicolas Cage for Three Kings before he had signed to the movie) "Luckily, both those guys were tied and gagged in my apartment, and that was a problem for the casting department."
• "I don't like to share my personal life... it wouldn't be personal if I shared it."
• "I was too busy breaking up Tom and Nicole's marriage." -on the fact he had nothing to do with the breakup of Julia Roberts and Benjamin Bratt.
• “Run for office? No. I’ve slept with too many women, I’ve done too many drugs, and I’ve been to too many parties.”
• "You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I'm there now."
• "I came running out of the house naked with my pig,. Max... And my buddy Ben, who was in the guesthouse down below, came running out naked with a gun, because he thought someone was breaking in. So we're naked like this, and my biggest fexar was that we would end up getting killed and they would find two naked guns, a pig and a gun." [on an earthquake in San Francisco]
• "Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties."
• "The director goes, 'Hit me, you pu---. Hit me.' Then he got me by the throat and I went nuts. I had him by the throat. I was going to kill him. Kill him. It was truly, without exception the worst moment of my life." [on director David Russell's tactics while working on Three Kings] - Playboy. July 2000.
• "They say I was a bad Batman, that it was my fault, that I buried the franchise. But the truth is, it was a big f---ing project. I was pretty intimidated in that world. I did the best I could in the situation I was given." - Playboy. July 2000.
• "I'm only two years older than Brad Pitt, but I look a lot older, which used to greatly frustrate me. It doesn't anymore. I don't have to fit into that category and get trounced by Tom Cruise and Brad." - Playboy. July 2000.
• "I decided if I walk outside and get hit by a bus, everybody'll say, 'He crammed a load into 34 years.'"
