I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.

A good director creates an environment which gives the actor the encouragement to fly.

I have a natural swagger.

There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous and those who are liars.

in this great war [WWI] ... they had, all of them, on all sides, lost their freedom. The freedom to think hopefully of the future.

I still tune in to the radio and listen to pop music and enjoy it as much as I ever have.

It feels good to know that I am safe and I am loved.

We must sacrifice something in order to make the world better.

You shouldn't just pick a stock - you should do your homework.

For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
