I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing.

It's funny I'm in some ways hopelessly masculine, but I don't fish, I don't hunt, I'm not that into sports. I can't fix a car. I think it's my point of view and the way I see the world.

I'm an actor, in particular, that likes to have a mask or something that can help me distance myself from the character. Like the moustache or an accent.

Yes, Im a New Yorker, born and bred. While Im not quite the L.A. snob that Woody Allen is, I do find myself happier in New York.

I don't know an actor who hasn't let himself down at some point. I imagine it's the same in politics. There's always the potential to self sabotage.

It's sort of cliche, but when you're playing drunk, your character is trying to appear sober.

I really feel incredibly fortunate to not be stereotyped. And it's something that I and my representatives are very keen on preserving.

I don't know how to play myself. I'm not interested enough in myself. That's just not how I was educated. That's not how I learned to become an actor. Acting is creating a character.

Having an opportunity to play different characters, and work in different mediums, that's what's fun. The worst question you could be asked is, "What do you like better, film, television or theater?"

Bad criticism has followed things like comic books or TV, and they put down a medium. A medium cannot be inherently good or bad.

Certain media attracts more pulpy or low-brow things, especially when they're young. Finding the best story, in any particular medium, is going to be as good, in any other medium.

Take the chance! You can!

The healthier people are, the more they are willing to admit to their limitations and so the more open they are to the possibility of improvement.

Lifting his head to gently kiss her lips, he whispered, “I trust you.” Then he covered his own eyes with her satin mask.

We all have freedom of choice. Over and over again, minute by minute. How will you live your life? For yourself Or for others? For something good? For love?

When I was a kid, I did many sports. Judo, like my dad, but also volleyball, handball, and gymnastics. We never played much football.

Music is love in search of a word.

If you’re really spiritual, then you should be totally independent of the good and the bad opinions of the world…you should have faith in yourself.

Looking at yourself through the media is like looking at one of those rippled mirrors in an amusement park.

If all insects disappeared, all life on earth would perish. If all humans disappeared, all life on earth would flourish.

People invent gods to explain their suffering.
