- What happens in Hollywood isn't real - it's about diversion. What I'm trying to do is just entertain people. I'm proud to be an entertainer.
(quoted on IMDB 12 oct 01)

- I know a lot of actors who are just as talented as I am who haven't caught the breaks that I have caught and at a certain point I really do begin to wonder why me?

- I've made the choice of playing him as a guy who doesn't want to be doing what he has to... McClane's in situations where he has absolutely no other choice... He's a policeman with a sense of duty to the public.
(Press conference on Die Hard 3)

- I'm very pleased with what I do for a living. For me it's very rewarding to entertain people and I'm still a big fan of the magic of film, which if you break it down to its essential components really is just a group of strangers coming into a dark room and sitting next to each other and looking at flashes of light on a screen for a few hours. If the movie's good enough and interesting enough within fifteen minutes, you're drawn into that world and that is a magical thing.

- I really haven't figured out this whole acting thing yet. Every film I do, I learn a little bit more and I try different things and working with Night, especially the second time, I was afforded the opportunity to really go for a more subtle performance because the part was written that way. It's far more interesting to me than running down the street with a gun in my hand screaming. So I'm trying to do things that challenge me and that I'm not necessarily sure that I can succeed at, because then if you do succeed, you get the reward of knowing you've accomplished something.
