Despite not looking like a matinee idol, I feel like I have a lot to give. I've never had any trouble with women. People are always surprised with the romantic aspect of my movies.

This is real human drama, we're not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it's got a real pathos behind it.

A lot of times, good improv is when both people, or however many people are in the scene, really have no idea what the next thing you're going to say is.

I was never a very dependable employee for anything. Perfect for the actor's life!

There is something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You're on earth but not quite.

Being unprepared makes me nervous. I'm old-fashioned show folk.

I don't know who I am, to tell you the truth.

I find people attractive for more subtle reasons than just the way they look.

I like people who are able to keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves even after great success.

Acting's all about the confidence you exude, especially on film. I mean, nervousness isn't attractive in anyone, but a film camera will seek it out and punish you.

The risk is too great. A man cannot place too much faith in any one thing, neither a woman, nor a horse, nor a weapon, nor any single thing.

Then there was the war, and I married it because there was nothing else when I reached the age of falling in love.

You have to die a little inside to be reborn as a Stronger & Wiser version of yourself.

You can beat me in the rat race, but remember u still remain a rat.

The summer stretched out the daylight as if on a rack. Each moment was drawn out until its anatomy collapsed. Time broke down. The day progressed in an endless sequence of dead moments.

Marriage can be a magnificent lesson in becoming our best selves that is true.

Smart is knowing if you're dumb. Knowing when to shut up and to listen to people that are smarter than you.

Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.

After I became a citizen, I felt freer to say what I thought about this country, both negative and positive. I think I had been, consciously and subconsciously, biting my tongue in the past.

The further the departure from direct and constant control by the citizens, the less has the government of the ingredient of republicanism.
