I've never been the type of person to stick with the same thing or be complacent or rest on my laurels.
Never, ever rest on your laurels. Today's laurels are tomorrow's compost.
It's been the work that has carried me and I never wanted to rest on my laurels or go back and do what I done before.
I'm a jet jockey and I've always escaped ever since I was a kid. I've always been a weekend type runaway person. Work hard, play hard type thing. It's not been a mid-life thing at all, it's been a habit because I think it changes your environment and how you feel even if it's for the day. It's a good thing.
With racing, you never rest on your laurels, and there are no counterfeits.
You can't sit back, rest on laurels and think about the past - what the journey has been.
But at the same time you can't assume that making a difference 20 years ago is going to allow you to sort of live on the laurels of those victories for the rest of your life

Once you fall into habits, I think, you're dead as an artist. You have to challenge yourself and never rest on your laurels, never think about what you've done in the past.
I remember my first trip to Toronto. There was this street musician playing an instrument I've never seen before - like, he had a hang drum on the left side and this random bagpipe, bodhran stick type of thing. It was the craziest thing ever! So I sampled it for a beat.
Rest on laurels? I wish I could do that. No, you rest when you're dead
Sometimes you can fall into bad habits on film or rest on your laurels, and you can't do that in theater. I think it's such a useful tool as a person and as an actor to go back and forth between those two mediums.
I don't know all the reasons for these achievements, but I know that I love what I do and I have never wanted to rest on my laurels.
There's that talent thing where I can score goals, and there's also that want and ambition to keep doing it and doing it and doing it. I've seen a lot of players do it for a year and then they rest on their laurels, but I've been very driven throughout my career. Without being the most talented, I think I've tried to make the most of it.
You never want to rest on your laurels. You want to keep doing things that terrify you.
The idea that you live your life in phases - I've never bought that. I feel like I'm the same person who sat in at the draft board in 1965, I'm the same person who joined a fraternity, I'm the same person who got an MFA at Bennington, and I'm the same person who founded Weather Underground. My values are still intact.
I like to be able to present myself in two or three different ways because I've never really wanted to rest on my laurels and be something that people expected.
