I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.

I don't know if anyone will ever sit beside me on a plane again.

My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.

I like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.

I personally think if something's not a challenge there's no point doing it because you're not gonna learn much.

I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.

I will always love film, the romance of film, sitting in the darkened room with strangers and watching a story for two hours - that will always remain and never be eroded by television.

I was obsessed with Batman as a kid. I did the film in part just to be near the Batmobile. But I also think [director] Christopher Nolan made a very fine, intelligent film.

You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.

If you behave like a celebrity, then people will treat you like a celebrity, and if you don't, they won't. There's not much to write about me in the tabloids.

And once you're unafraid with death, I think your capacity for violence is immediately increased. Once you're unafraid of death, you are a very, very dangerous adversary

There are days when I want to dip my soul in memories and just soak. Then there are others where I'm praying they'll be washed away.

Be courageous! First win the fear of failure to win the game of life.

In baseball, it's tough to get up for every single game, every single moment. In football, you have 90,000 fans screaming and the band's playing. I do miss that adrenaline rush.

One I'm deeply into is Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals." I was the only person in the US who hadn't read it.

I want to try to make big films that hopefully connect with people.

Fear is just an idea in the mind that limits you. You cannot become enlightened if you are afraid, nor can you become happy.

Waking up in the morning isn't a choice, you know.

I joke sometimes that I live a protracted adolescence, that a part of me will always be twelve years old.

Although it may not be a castle, [it is the] functional equivalent of a hotel room, a vacation and retirement home or a hunting and fishing cabin.
