I'd never worked with an actor-director before [Warren Beatty].

I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.

I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.

Basically, Beautiful Creatures was the first lead that I had since Tetro, and it was a lesson in seeing what it's like to film a movie that's of a much bigger scale. It was a good initiation.

The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.

For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.

You get bummed out, and then you go, "Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself." That kind of helps.

I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation; it's a calling.

I buy myself a present whenever I don't get a role that I really wanted.

So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.

The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.

The Declaration of Independence was to set forth the moral justification of a rebellion against a long-recognized political tradition - the divine right of kings.

I#pray because the need flows out of me all the time-walking and sleeping. It does not change #‎ God - it changes me.

Family time is really important to me.

The idea of directing was something that I always had in the back of my mind, and writing as well. I began to write screenplays when I was in my 20's.

The Ryan plan isn't a budget. It's the last will and testament of the Republican party.

It isn't how long you stick around but what you put over while you are here.

I think that everyone has the right to fall in love at any age. But in life you have to learn how to control your emotions. You must know self-discipline.

I don't believe that efforts to prohibit only so-called reproductive cloning can be successful.

We have found ways to capture, kill and market ocean wildlife on an unprecedented scale. It's an absolute catastrophe.

I never thought anything about age. I believed sincerely and still do, that there’s nothing I cannot do. I believe that all the power in the universe is right inside me.
