Quotes- On dating Julia Roberts: "I knew dating (Roberts) would be trouble. I just didn't know how much of an impact it would have on my privacy. Because I'm such a private person, what happened was the ultimate nightmare. I had worked for the first six years of my career to be as anonymous as possible and in the space of a few weeks I was one of the most public people in the world just because I was dating a famous person who liked to be in the press and who courted the press."
- On Love: "We all want to be loved. If we can't find love in a relationship we try to find it in our work. No matter how many times you get burned or how many of your relationships go sour, no one's ever going to give up on relationships."
- On his grandfather Jackie Gleason: "My grandfather was a very talented man but he was never part of my emotional life so I refuse to make him part of my professional life."
- On his controversial film character: "He's so secure in himself that he's not afraid to reveal anything about himself. As a rule, guys don't talk to other people about their real feelings. That's what's makes the sauna scene in Your Friends & Neighbors so shocking."
- On his career choices: "I'm willing to take less money and fourth billing and do interesting roles. I hate putting Limitations on myself. I don't set out to sell popcorn or make money for the major studios. What I'd like is for my work to have meaning."
