Human beings, from their own point of view, are very different than what people see.

Society questions the police and their methods, and the police say: 'Do you want the criminals off the street or not?'

I seem to have a knack for picking movies that go on to be cult favorites.

If I see one side of somebody, I want to see the other side.

I wasn't really serious about acting - I was serious about baseball

I'm a libertarian. I think a lot of people are libertarians and are afraid to admit it - or don't know.

I no longer look at my life and times in the motion picture industry as my career. I just look at it now as something I like and want to do.

I was brought up as a Republican. But when I realized that at the end of the day there wasn't much difference between a Democrat and Republican, I became a libertarian.

I was brought up by two people who just said, Whatever it is you're interested in, go do it. There is no winning or losing. You find out when you do it what the experience is.

When you think you're good, you will play at that level. If you doubt yourself, you will play like crap.

I'm a reasonable guy, but I've just experienced some very unreasonable things.

How can the truth make anything worse?

When asking God for direction, ask Him to give you ears to hear it and the will and strength to follow it. Say, “God show me what to do and enable me to do it.

My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger.

Genius in one grand particular is like life. We know nothing of either but by their effects.

I am receptive to the inflow and outpouring of the universe.

I'm too passionate about my work...Acting takes not only concentration, it takes creativity; it takes... your soul.

For me Greece is Maria Farantouri. This is how I imagined Goddess Hera to be: strong, pure and vigilant. I have never encountered any other artist able to give me such a strong sense of the divine.

Nothing bears out in practice what it promises incipiently.

I learned very quickly that the hard thing in life is to make good films. Technically, filmmaking is the camera and the actor telling the story and that's what I'm more interested in doing.

We have to be alert to the way brands behave and misbehave. We have to reward the good ones with our loyalty and punish the bad ones by avoiding them.
