• On Angelina Jolie: "I love my daughter, I'm crazy about my daughter and I will not stop sending her my messages of love and will keep trying to reach her always."
• "I've always been there for my kids, always been there for the family."
• "In most ways it was a damn good picture. But if we remade 'Midnight Cowboy' today, the whole relationship between Buck and Ratso would have to be sexualized or at least made, you know, like in love...to be sexually or erotically honest."
• "Being an actor and having success, you start thinking there must be something special about you. This is a big mistake. It's, 'I can have anything I want now.' So, what do you want? I felt guilty. I wore my ordinariness on my sleeve. Now I'm grateful for my celebrity. It allows me to focus on organizations that do good."
