I have a constant sort of melancholy approach to acting that fuels me. I want to do everything.

I think any good actor is an anarchist. They have to be.

I think people are happier when they have structure, you know? You realize that as you get older. You have to have rituals and structure.

I have memories of films that nobody ever saw, that I was very proud of, and those are still great memories.

I copied everything I did in Galaxy Quest from Bill Paxton in Aliens, I owe him some credit.

I had those kind of parents where I watched all of these very sophisticated movies: 'Five Easy Pieces', 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'

My parents were both actors my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

An editor is like a painter. There is a magic in that.

I've done so many independents for so many years. Leads that nobody's seen.

I sometimes can't do movies just for the money. I really can't. I mean, I've tried. Believe me, I'd love to just take the money and run.

You hit 41 and you don't burn calories like you used to.

I read obituaries every day to learn what sorts of lives are available to us, to see an entire life compressed into a few column inches, to fit the whole story in my eye at once.

No amount of high fashion can make up for a lifetime of poor posture.

I'm a London lad, but I'm fascinated by America. I want to take a motorcycling trip across the country and see those wide open spaces.

Comfort is bought at too high a price.

Everyone gets cards at the beginning of life. I am transgender, I decided to be honest and tell everyone about it, and that's it.

A film director has to get a shot, no matter what he does. We're desperate people.

Don't seek to lead people to a God you have ceased to believe in.

Ah those knock-out body fluids: blood, sperm, tears!

There's nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear.

You should tell her how nice her outfit is because her outfit is her choice whereas her face isn't.
