- Jack: (revealing he dislikes promoting films he is ashamed of doing) When it's a bad movie you want to release it quietly. You try to keep it a secret like an STD.

- Jack: I also put Coco Pops in my butt. Why? For comedy and experiment. I was a scientist and I discovered you could put a lot of them up your butt. When I saw my rear end in my nude scene in 'Margot at the Wedding', it actually had a double chin. I've joined a gym because the next time you see me naked I'll be trim.

- Jack: (on the birth of their second child, Jack jnr.) I have a new one. It's eating every three hours.
