Go West, young man.

Go west, young man.

If you want to go east, don't go west.

Now, twenty years old, I come out and I go back to Greenwich Village. Now, of course, I'm a wealthy man.

I finally decided if I was going to make a living, I was gonna have to come to New York.

After the success of 'August,' there were people saying I should change my life. And maybe I should have bought a yacht and traveled the world instead of returning to Steppenwolf to act in and write plays. But I'm from the Midwest, and that's what we do: We go back to work.

I am not going to comment on what I did or did not say back in the late '90s.

I'm going to be in another city when my kids are teenagers. I'll be like, 'Give me a call when you're done with all that.'

My mother cried when I told her I really didn't want to go to West Point. So I went.
