I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, 'Bring back the spikes, Dad.'

I race historic muscle cars back in Australia, and that's my hobby. And I try to race home as soon as I've finished a movie but don't tell anyone.

I look my best when I take my helmet off after a long motorcycle ride. I have a glow and a bit of helmet hair.

Over my lifetime, the car had actually transcended the fact that it is a car. It has become a venue.

I'm always one time zone behind myself.

You have to be proactive about your destiny and then realize that the other half of it is completely out of your control. I think it's fascinating.

It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.

I've always been a bit of a car freak.

I'm spending all my time and energy on the project at hand.

I didn't study Greek mythology in school and I wish I had.

It is the worst people in your life that teach you the best lessons.

This is the price you pay for having a great father. You get the wonder, the joy, the tender moments - and you get the tears at the end, too.

If you doubt your sins have been forgiven, that in itself is sin.

I know too much about British politics to comment on British politics.

I always wanted to know what the music behind some music was, or where it came from, and that gave me a point of reference for understanding the music I was listening to.

The media crucify me like they did Christ.

As long as we focus on the outside, there will always be that empty, hungry, lost place inside that needs to be filled.

Life is boring. The weather is boring. Actors must not be boring.

Know yourself -- and know your audience.
