Tom Sizemore

I used to be very rigid because I just wanted to get through it. Now, if I think a scene should go a certain way and it goes another, I'm able to go that new way with ease.

I'm a big baby. I'm not tough at all.

I'm afraid of the dark. I'm not kidding.

I shot a couple of movies in jail, but I was never in jail.

I like to touch things. In my house I have a lot of velvet drapes and thick, lush couches.

I didn't come to Hollywood to drink or get high, and I don't want to be considered a cool actor - I want to be a great actor.

Being alone is scarier than any boogey man and the reason why I don't choose to see Horror movies as a rule.

I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.

You must have to want it so badly, if there is any way you can live without it, get out of it. Being an unsuccessful actor is like having a skin disease. Make sure your passion is not misplaced.

I like Michael Bay a whole lot. And Jerry Bruckheimer. But I love Ben Affleck as a person, as a director, as an actor.

I wanted to get on with my life when I was 16. I knew I wanted to be an actor. I wanted to get out of Detroit.

I try to stop and take a 10-second break and ask myself before I do something: One, is this going to improve my life for my children, or two, will there be a potential for something to go wrong here?
