For me, I've never drawn a distinction between live-action acting and performance-capture acting. It is purely a technology.

Be magnificent. Life’s short. Get out there. You can do it. Everyone can do it. Everyone.

I play saxophone, I play tenor sax.

As long as you have the acting chops and the desire to get inside a character, you can play anything.

That's what I think is the biggest challenge, is just being still and learning how to just be present in that stillness and not over do it, not over act.

When you come out of the other end of a long process, working with a character [you realize] this character has really shaped my ideas.

I believe that when people experience an event as a community it can transcend and change people's lives.

Performance capture is a tool that young actors will need in the next 10, 20 years. It's on the increase, as you say. It's not going away.

Performance capture is a technology, not a genre; it's just another way of recording an actor's performance.

I expect at some point I'll probably want to go back on stage and do some theater, because I've not done theater in 10 years.

I love acting and certainly won't give it up, but it's part of a bigger canvas for me now.

Always choose to trust yourself and your ability to listen.

Prayer succeeds when all else fails

In the mountains, the shortest way is from peak to peak: but for that you must have long legs

But my favorite part in my body are my dark circles. They define me. They reveal my melancholy.

I might give my life for my friend, but he had better not ask me to do up a parcel.

God looks after children, animals and idiots.

I feel like I am not an American in the eyes of my government because of their religious beliefs. I think that is un-American.

The iron ring is worn out by constant use. [Lat., Ferreus assiduo consumitur anulus usu.]

All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years.

All I can guarantee you is that as long as you are searching for happiness, you will remain unhappy.
