I don't want to play a bad guy who doesn't have a bit of good in him.

I love the idea of going to work and having to fight and learn a new skill set, whether it's muay Thai or Kali or Filipino stick fighting. To me, it's like college for life.

I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place.

I like to stay busy, I like to stay focused, and I like to stay creative. Without being creative I'd be dead.

Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it's my life.

I have a bad sweet tooth. I'm pretty good when I have to eat well for work, but otherwise, I could eat a whole roll of raw cookie dough.

I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money.

I'm not very good at taking compliments. It's better than getting slapped in the face, I suppose.

I want to be a good human being.

Three-quarters of the sicknesses of intelligent people come from their intelligence. They need at least a doctor who can understand this sickness.

Success is about enjoying what you have and where you are, while pursuing achievable goals.

I've gone through a really hard divorce, and anyone who has gone through a divorce will speak about how hard the journey is from start to finish. It's a life-uprooting time.

There's no point in just hankering for the big trade unions of the 1950s or '60s.

You cannot find, make or understand true friendship without having enemies.

I'd like to keep doing film and TV, and I definitely can appreciate a good theme song. If it's memorable, that's a great thing.

Greatness starts with the replacement of hatred with polite disdain.

We know that photographs inform people. We also know that photographs move people. The photograph that does both is the one we want to see and make.

Refuse to be scared in this lifetime.

Life is but sighs; and, when they cease, 'tis over.
