I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father, and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up sometimes.

Any actor who tells you that they have become the people they play, unless they’re clearly diagnosed as a schizophrenic, is bullshitting you.

My favorite meal would have to be good old-fashioned eggs, over easy, with bacon. Many others, but you can't beat that on a Sunday morning, especially with a cup of tea.

You choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.

I enjoy playing characters where the silence is loud.

I had a guitar when I was 6 or 7, a plastic guitar with the Beatles' faces on it. It would be a collector's item now. It would fetch a hefty sum, I imagine.

My passion and energy get mistaken for anger.

Reality TV to me is the museum of social decay.

We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there.

Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead, you're really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour.

I applaud anything that can take a kid away from a PlayStation or a Gameboy. That is a miracle in itself.

The ritual of our daily lives permeate our very bodies.

Youth condemns maturity condones.

I believe serious progress (in the abolition of war) can be achieved only when men become organized on an international scale and refuse, as a body, to enter military or war service.

Language is an anonymous, collective and unconscious art; the result of the creativity of thousands of generations.

It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.

Yoga calms me down. It gives me energy and focus.

I tend to be a bit of a workaholic, but I also can't function without some sort of domesticity as well.

The dreadful fear of hell is to be driven out, which disturbs the life of man and renders it miserable, overcasting all things with the blackness of darkness, and leaving no pure, unalloyed pleasure.

Faith is a bird that can see the light when it is dawn and starts singing in the dark.

I totally believe in magic. Because my life, I think, has been very magic, and magical things have come true for me time after time after time.
