Aviation is proof that given, the will, we have the capacity to achieve the impossible.

I've cheated the Grim Reaper more times than anyone I know.

The sensation of dying is sweet, sensuous, placid.

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 didn't care at all about losing, but I just didn't want Emerson to feel bad, You know, I didn't win, but Felicity won, and when you come to the set next time, you can give her a big congratulations.

Like Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to his own applause.
