I don't do the whole L.A. nightlife thing.

When you look at all the miracles attributed to Jesus, they're all about change.

Acting itself is quite scary. Some people say that actors are show-offs, very egotistical and all that kind of stuff, but it is quite scary.

I suppose I'm something of an eccentric dresser.

I'm not a Tony Blair impersonator.

No matter how difficult things are, and no matter how much grief and loss there is, you can turn it into something positive.

I love being able to play as many different characters, in as many different worlds as I possibly can. That's what I really enjoy.

I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.

My chief gifts are - naturally good at all sports with a raw talent for pretty much everything, which if nurtured could develop into improper talent.

Man's highest duty is to protect animals from cruelty.

I dont meet many people who are talking about shows on Showtime.

It is easier to be mistaken about the true than the beautiful.

If passion sometimes counsels greater boldness than does reflection, it gives more strength to execute it.

As a parent you have to do some renunciation.

I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.
