I learned a long time ago: You're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that's just not the case.

I have a home in Arizona. I go a couple months a year, but basically Chicago is my home.

I don't like to be talked into anything. I don't want to be cajoled.

Do whatever you're directed to do, and leave the rest of that technical stuff up to the director.

As far as carrying the American banner, you just do what's right for the kids.

Acting is a work in progress for me. I just try to keep my mouth shut and my eyes and ears open, especially with the people I've worked with.

I don't know if I have a technique. I'm just trying to remember the words.

Sometimes you can take those dramatic roles and maybe interject a little humor into them, and I think the reverse also works.

There's a whole catalogue of actors that never went to acting school.

My mother and sisters cooked Italian food, and I never heard of half of the dishes you see in these Italian restaurants. I just go in and order spaghetti.

What you do as a policeman might be the right thing to do, but it's not entertaining. I left that behind me.

This generation of filmmakers is very good. They're seasoned, for some reason.

Car chases usually don't involve major criminals - they're usually guys afraid of getting another traffic ticket.

This face is nothing to brag about. I don't know what it is that these people see in my face.

The most credible police shows I've ever seen were 'Barney Miller' on TV and 'The French Connection' movie. They showed the tedious side of police work.

People are always telling me to shut up about Chicago.

I think first impressions are important when you pick up a script.

I'm quite happy having stuff like quinoa, sushi, and even vegetable juices.

Comfort is of great importance to me. I really want to encourage girls to dress in whatever they feel comfortable in and not get bogged down by fashion trends.

You need to feel like you're wearing the clothes, and they're not wearing you.

There are days when I love a fresh blow-dry, but sometimes I just go with bedhead.

I'm not into superhero movies, but I love cartoons. Tweety bird is my favourite.

My effort is to slip into any role that is offered to me. The minute you go into those costumes, those grand sets, and start prepping up for the role, you become the part or at least start feeling the part.
