A fancy watch, it's completely unnecessary. I just need a watch to tell the right time.
All of the directors I've worked with I have loved and would work with again. I have no favorites.
Almost anything makes me laugh, especially jokes at my own expense. And I will never, ever admit to being ticklish anywhere.
Almost everything can draw or repel me from a project.
As a kid I had a crush on Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.
Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up.
Death is not my best subject.
Do you think i would speak for you? I don't even know your language.
During junior high I worked part-time at a small candle factory in my hometown of Portland, Maine. My mother loved that I came home from work smelling like flowers and spice.
Heroes always make the right decision; I find that seldom happens in my life.
I always thought that the badge a cop has was more like the shield that Captain America has. It's an obvious sign of good and something you'll protect other people with, but it will also protect you.
I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free.
I don't have any blindness when it comes to my money. As an actor, you can get distracted by your work. I do keep an eye on my nest egg, if you will.
I don't know if it matters what country you're from, size of the city you're from, urban or rural, there are people that are hurting each other everywhere.
I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.
I had an acquaintance who worked for the NYPD. I got to hang out with him for a little while. I wanted to see how close he would get to crossing the line.
I have adopted clothes from all the projects I'm in. It's really been a while since I've bought anything myself.
I just couldn't go back to Suddenly Susan after David Strickland's suicide. I didn't see how we could make the show light and funny any more.
I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.
I like every single actor or actress in the world, because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan.
I like the way the old Toyotas look.
I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience.
I loved doing New Jack City. I went to acting school with the director, Mario Van Peebles, and was thrilled at the opportunity to work with him.
I must relate to all of my characters, pleasant or not.
I never even thought that being a cop meant that you were more in danger from a bad guy. It changed my attitude toward cops. I see them as more human, more nervous and more threatened.
I put less stock in others' opinions than my own. No one else's opinions could derail me.
I slowly started to come up with an attitude and an appearance. No one bothered me, no one even spoke to me and I was avoided.
I took all the philosophy courses I could.
I was a waiter, I was a bartender and I worked for a candy maker.
I went through trying to be deep as opposed to just letting everything seek its own level. I'm certainly not at peace, but I try.
I went to acting school in New York City for two years. I studied with Stella Adler.
I would like to meet Hitler when he was 20 years old so I could kill him immediately.
I'm involved with Recording Artists and Actors Against Drunk Driving. I'm also involved with most children's causes, because children can't help the environment they're in.
Ice T was just a pleasure to work with. He was a smart gentleman.
It is a career of make-believe, of masks. We all have masks in life.
It's a public profession, like sports and politics. Things will be said, and written; just don't take them personally. Suck it up. And keep plugging!
It's great to work with people that you like, any job, no matter what you do.
It's still a bottom-line business. You can be out of control, and if they want you, they'll pick you. And you can be a mensch, and if you're not the product they want, you won't get it.
It's very easy to confuse Sean Connery with James Bond. Sometimes in the entertainment industry, people believe the cake is more real than the baker.
My Brat Pack buddies and I didn't exactly handle celebrity very well. Success at an early age is far more difficult to handle than failure.
My closest friend is canine. I have precious few close friends, and most of them are not actors.
My father, who is an attorney, is my mentor. He is the person I look up to most, and that I respect the most.
My first love is acting on stage. A sitcom is a hybrid of stage and film.
My first paid acting job was a movie called Fandango. It also starred Kevin Costner.
Remember to be as smart as you are.
The key is making it to the gym. Join a gym that is close to where you live or work and just get your butt there. Then do whatever; it will work!
The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.
There are people that are unconsciously hurting themselves.
They say gargoyles protect you from evil. Maybe I should've gotten more.
We got lumped together as a generation of actors as if we were hanging out together.
When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.
While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.
With failure, you just try again.
You can be knocked down, but it doesn't mean you're out.
Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.

Judd Nelson: I think that there's room for everyone. I don't think that if one person succeeds then another must fail. That's lunacy. I'm not sure what the reasons are for my philosophy, maybe it's the fact that if there are ten people doing the same job, we all know how we feel and what our high points and low points are.
