So you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna do something really outrageous, I'm gonna tell the truth.

Well, turning fifty was the most glorious time, because of what my wife [actress Kelly Preston] did for me. She actually set up the party of the century. It was an amazing surprise. I walked in there, and there were Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Streisand coming at me. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Every friend and everyone I had worked with were there. Over three hundred people. And there was a show the next night with Carly Simon, Barbara Streisand, Tony Bennett, Jose Feliciano, Roberta Flack, Michael McDonald, all performing for me for my birthday.

I have to believe there's some other life force out there. I don't know in what form. But we can't have all these galaxies and universes without something going on.

You have a freedom in playing the villain. You can be a lot more out there, really. And there is a joy in that.

I feel very fortunate for audiences to have been so gracious as to allow me to do pretty much any role that I felt I could do. They let me play a president. They let me play a lawyer. They let me play a hit man. They let me play a father.... I mean, I really do appreciate it. I couldn't function if I weren't allowed to stretch and do really different characters where I can change the whole "beingness" of that person. That's my pleasure in acting and has been since I was a kid. That's always been my pleasure to create complete characters.

The trouble with Hollywood is ... the catering.

I was just thinking of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and how young they were when they died. I would like to be a pop icon who survives. I would like to be a living icon.

Money and power come as a byproduct of things well done.

It's hard to make a cultural phenomenon every time.
