I did my holy communion, and it was amazing how quickly the stories of the Bible and God and Jesus got under my skin.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.

I always kept myself fairly fit.

Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.

The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.

Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.

This is what I had always dreamed marriage would be... Everything was absolutely perfect... for three short days.

Those who begin by burning books will end by burning people.

Fate loves best such syllables as are sweet and sonorous on the tongue.

It doesn't make a lot of sense for us to borrow money from the Chinese to go give to another country for humanitarian aid. We ought to get the Chinese to take care of the people.

I am here and you will know that I am the best and will hear me.

What most of all enables a man to serve the public is not wealth, but content and independence; which, requiring no superfluity at home, distracts not the mind from the common good.

The greatest invention in the world is the mind of a child.

Sometimes we need to tell ourselves that we're not going to do certain things, just in order to stay sane.
