I'm an actor. And I guess I've done so many movies I've achieved some high visibility. But a star? I guess I still think of myself as kind of a worker ant.

It's a juggernaut, yeah... but I'm not phased by making movies.

I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films. I vowed I would never do a commercial, nor would I do a soap opera -- both of which I did as soon as I left the [Acting] Company and was starving.

I can be in 20 movies. But I'll never be an actor.

Only the gentle are ever really strong.

I really hope people go back and watch his movies, because he was such a fantastic actor, and he is going to be so missed. Not just Sean Penn's little brother, you know? He was Chris Penn.
