I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that's going on.

I was a slightly melancholy child and I think films were a way of escaping for me.

Everybody, at some point in their life, has fallen down and not felt like getting back up, but you have to, no matter how difficult it is.

It's generally more fun playing the villain

I'm usually the guy who knocks everyone out in order to get the girl.

I mean I’m 16 and 17 years wiser now. So if I could do it when I was 18 with a guy, I can certainly do it at 33 with a lady.

I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.

So I try not to do press and if you can keep the balance of keeping a certain degree of anonymity and do interesting work then you can hope for a degree of career longevity

I think the work is always going to be much better when it's important and personal to you.

I think we can affect our own fates, but there's also a powerful energy that's the universe or God or whatever your unconscious recognizes that helps along your way.

I have too many control issues, so it just is not good for me to go and watch a film, too soon after I make it.

Pain and anger have to go somewhere. If we keep stuffing them down instead of processing them, we’ll end up either turning them inward, which isn’t good, or outward, which is no better.

I wish I would have had more to do in the film. I hated to get killed so soon.

Society expresses its sympathy for the geniuses of the past to distract attention from the fact that it has no intention of being sympathetic to the geniuses of the present.

Always work the ref's blind side.

Making a wrong choice early may limit making the right choice later.

I love fashion, but maybe I love it peripherally.

I can now focus on a huge audience through TV, books, cookware and foods.

To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never face the facts.

I have sometimes thought that his bursts of imaginative talk were fatal to his poetic gift. He squandered too much in the heat of personal communication.
