I don't think an actor's job is to be recognized. I think an actor's job is to facilitate the writing in a way that changes the way people think. No other business does that.

What would surprise a lot of people about me... I'm a gardener! I have a green thumb. I really like to get into the shrubs, the bushes, and really cultivate.

I could never say I'm going to do bigger and better things because that would negate what I've already accomplished, and I don't want to do that.

If someone grabbed me, I'd probably be able to choke them out in about eight seconds.

Believe it or not, I don't own a TV. Crazy huh? I'm not a big movie-goer either. I just feel like I'm watching work. I am always outside and couldn't care less about what's on TV these days.

The seeking face that does not alter when presented with peace and reason, must bask in its wearer's prideful ignorance.

It is not improbable that in hot countries, monkeys may have enslaved girls.

Without love, we are pointless. With it, we are infinite.

I'm learning to use others' weaknesses. I don't hammer a man's soft spot constantly, because he may strengthen it. I just save it as a trump up my sleeve for moments when I really need a point.

I'm not, like, Daniel Day Lewis. Yet. I will get there!

The most dreadful thing of all is that many millions of people in the poor countries are going to starve to death before our eyes. We shall see them doing so upon our television sets.

That silent gap between your thoughts is your window to the cosmic mind.

If you're not getting the things you want, need or desire, it's because you have not accepted that you can have them.
