I feel the need... the need for speed.

In this life, it's not what you hope for, it's not what you deserve - it's what you take!

The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that's why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It's not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.

When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you're either going to sink or you're going to swim.

Psychiatry is a pseudoscience.... You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do...Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you don't even -you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is.

I love what I do. I take great pride in what I do. And I can't do something halfway, three-quarters, nine-tenths. If I'm going to do something, I go all the way.

No dream is ever just a dream.

I couldn't change the past, but hell if I didn't want to be what Kate needed now.

I think I knew from the first moment I met her, she would be the one to replace me. I didn't think it would happen that fast, but it did.

Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.

I feel sure that coups d'état would go much better if there were seats, boxes, and stalls so that one could see what was happening and not miss anything.

Some people ask me, Do they put aging makeup on you? It's just this very nice street makeup.

The imaginary flowers of religion adorn man's chains. Man must throw off the flowers, and also the chains.

Blaming others is nothing more than excusing yourself.

Waging an unnecessary war is a grave mistake.

There has been no lack of courage in Ireland; there never is, but even our courage has a fatal quality.

I didn't become an actor because I wanted to act. Actually, I wanted to become a marine biologist. But most of all, I wanted to be accepted.
