I buy my Avengers tickets. But I think people are going to really get into seeing this other side of the world.

Gratitude is the intention to count-your-blessings every day, every minute, while avoiding, whenever possible, the belief that you need or deserve different circumstances.

Compassion is the intention to see each human being as no better or worse than yourself, neither more nor less important, and as fundamentally similar to yourself.

As a first time director it's interesting, but not all that different from what I did before. A lot of parts of this job seem to be very similar to running a big company.

Marvel does a great job of making their characters human.

Attention is the intention to live without reservation in the here-and-now.

You can resent your bald spot or be glad you have a head

I'm definitely not afraid to be wrong.

I function better in an atmosphere of inner insecurity and fear.

To be on set every day with a whole bunch of people that know their job and my job a lot better than I do and I'm supposed to tell them what to do, that's very uncomfortable and awkward.

I don't want to make a movie for 100,000 fans that nobody else in the world sees, because I don't think that's good for the character.

Never give up just because you failed initially

Rather be alone, than being with someone who is aloof.

...after a pointless delay for the humans to collect all their toys and keepsakes, he was able to take his rightful place in Littlemouse's arms and heard them all in the proper direction.

He had taken to asking himself WWPD? (What Would Pia Do?)

I don't want food that comes from animals that are caged up and fed antibiotics. I am really suspicious of that kind of production of meat and poultry.

I had sacrificed my entire life to play football.

Character is our destiny.

I am a total sucker for an actor's autobiography/biography. I have probably read most of them.

Killing for ideas is the most dangerous form of killing at all. Being willing to die for your ideas rather than your country is another concept, but dying for an idea, like in religion, is absurd.

Force is the antithesis of freedom, but force must be used, if only to defend against other force.
