As far as dieting and weight loss go, diet and exercise actually works. Lots of running and healthy eating.

On 'Into The Wild' I spent months risking my life and on 'Speed Racer' I spent 60 days acting in front of a green screen. No danger to my physical self, but I sure had to use my imagination.

I think I've always been half out of my shell and half in. Sometimes I can be extremely wild and sometimes I can be extremely shy. It just depends on the day.

We become what we think. If you have a negative thinking, stop thinking.

The things that happen in the night are hidden even from the night.

If I produce it, I will stage it as a performance. A small audience will be invited; rehearsals of the sections will be done in the mornings, and those sections will be recorded in the afternoons.

Sometimes You Have to Pay a Heavy Price to Live in a Free Society

If we're going to be friends let's get one thing straight right now. I hate snoops.

The price of clothes may be low, but they are paid for with human lives.

When you're taxing bovine flatulence emissions, there's nothing left to tax.

When I shot the movie, I wasn't gonna think about anything except for being the biggest knucklehead in the world.

The most urgent task is that of the biblical and liturgical formation of the people of God.
