I never get recognized for 'Mean Girls.' I can be walking around with Daniel Franzese, who's in the movie and a friend of mine, and people will come up to him and start freaking out and have no idea who I am.
Look, I'm not a blockbuster star.
Everybody wants to be a movie star. I bet if you ask that guy would he like to be a movie star, he'd say, 'Sure.'
To be involved with movies that become kind of cult classics... I've been very fortunate. 'The Warriors' is certainly a cult classic, and 'Xanadu' is, to a certain degree, a cult classic as well.
I got 'Munich' after I had done 'In Treatment' in Israel, which was very successful. But, when I actually shot it, nobody knew it was going to be sold all over the world and be so successful.
Nobody knew me. They just knew that I was the guy from 'Mission: Impossible.'
I've watched people in these movies like Bradley Cooper in 'Yes Man' become these giant stars themselves.
I've been treated really well for 'Stick It.' There was this cop and he pulled me over and he was like, 'Oh my God, you're in 'Stick It.' I said, 'Yes. Yes. You're the last person I would think would be pumped up by this movie'. He let me go, so that was nice.
I get confused between the rock and roll thing and my movie star thing... We're f - -ing movie stars.
I do want to be in mainstream movies that are going to be seen. I suppose it satisfies the showbiz side of me.
Everywhere I go, someone stops me and says, 'Oh, you're that guy from 'Terminator 2.'' So, it's something that has, you know, been around me since the movie came out.
I don't want to be a great actress. I want to be a sexy movie star.
I didn't really want to be a movie star. I thought they were so screwed up!
You know what I think happened? After 'Rocky,' I was almost set up in the eyes of the media to make a flop.
'Pretty In Pink' was a huge hit for me.
It was funny to run into girls I knew after the movie came out because they would say, 'I saw you on 'Magic Mike,' but there was this look of embarrassment. It was very cute.
The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.
I'm really proud of 'Oceans 12.' Of course, you do an 'Oceans' movie, you get known all over the world. It's an incredibly powerful medium: It's a Hollywood-identified blockbuster.
When I did 'Shaft', I was so happy to be working and to have been a star of a major motion picture, I had no idea or concept of where it was going to go, and it turned out to be this huge film. That was the icing on the cake.
I'm one of those guys that spins through the clicker when I'm watching TV. When one of my movies comes on, I'll watch a scene or two.
If you've been on the covers of some magazines and been in a few movies that have been seen by people, for some reason, women seem to be drawn to you.
It's nice to be known for a pretty great movie.
'Alien?' Oh, yeah. I still get fanmail almost every week, pictures from all over the world on that movie. That's one of the most popular films I've done.
It's still possible to make movies. Not so much on YouTube. On YouTube, you wind up with an advertising career. What movie became infamous and a hit because of YouTube? Maybe there is one. I don't know.
Honestly, I get more recognized for 'Three Men and a Little Lady' than 'Harry Potter'.
