For me as an actor, I use a lot of music. Music is a huge part of developing and getting into a certain mindset.

A good old rodeo never hurt anyone.

People hate cardio. I hate cardio. But pick the five top songs that you love. Do your cardio during these songs, and you're done. I'd say 95 percent of the time you don't even know you just did it.

Video games and computers have become babysitters for kids.

I would do 'John Carter' again tomorrow. I'm very proud of 'John Carter.' Box office doesn't validate me as a person, or as an actor.

I've always been intimidated by the technicalities of taking photos, especially with a film camera - not just a point and shoot.

I had someone very close to me say to me that hopefully I’ll have many more ups and downs, not in just my career but in life. If you don’t have that, you’re not taking enough risks.

I like Brazilians and I like their values. They believe in family.

I was a poet animated by philosophy, not a philosopher with poetic faculties.

God is never late, but He sure is slow.

Mathematics is the abstract key which turns the lock of the physical universe.

I've always had a great fondness for English detective fiction such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.
