I've given up on trying to explain myself, or trying to set the record straight, or trying to get people to understand what I'm really like as a man, outside of my acting, outside of my job. - Bruce Willis
I've always had confidence. Before I was famous, that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous, it just got me into more trouble. - Bruce Willis
Every day, I work at not taking this fame thing seriously. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends who help me do this. - Bruce Willis
I mean, look, I wear makeup in films. I don't wear makeup in real life. It's just part of the gig, that's all. - Bruce Willis
I think the rules are going to have to change for me to ever run for public office. My checkered past will always keep me out of politics. - Bruce Willis
I just have more fun when I get to try new things - and the action film genre has kind of painted itself into a corner, copied itself so many times and it has basically run out of bad buys. - Bruce Willis
Violence - look, we live in a violent world, man. This country was founded on violence. Who's kidding who? - Bruce Willis
After I did the first Die Hard I said I'd never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground. - Bruce Willis
I'm always being accused of being a Hollywood Republican, but I'm not! I have just as many Democratic ideas as Republican ones. If they could build three fewer bombs every month and give the money to foster care, that would be great. - Bruce Willis
There was a lot of dancing in '76, '78, in the '80s. A lot of dancing. The burn years. A lot of dancing. And for a while, working fit in with all that. 'Moonlighting' - that wasn't acting. It was people telling me 'Let's create a character who is you, so you can play him the way you are. The guy you are at night.' It was fun. - Bruce Willis
I like a little movie I did in the early nineties called 'Mortal Thoughts.' The part was hardly written, but I learned a lot making it. No one remembers it. - Bruce Willis
Fifty is the new forty. I always thought my best work would come in the years forty to sixty, if I was fortunate enough to hang around - and it is hard to stick around. - Bruce Willis
I think that there are a lot of law enforcement officers out there who work according to their own set of what is right and what is wrong. And that doesn't always include respect for administration cops, you know, people that are higher up the food chain. - Bruce Willis
I could never write my memoirs, just because too many people are still alive and would be hurt. - Bruce Willis
Your kids need your love and attention, and being able to devote myself to them is very fulfilling. As I get older, spending time with my daughters makes things much easier. You learn to put your ego aside. - Bruce Willis
To be guilty of the sin of prayerlessness is to be guilty of the worst form of practical atheism. It is actually saying we can get along without His help while the evidence is very clear on every hand that we cannot. Could it be that the sin of prayerlessness steams from our unbelief that he is a living God who exercises direct influence on the affairs of men? - Bruce Willis
