I have such a crush on Shirley Manson. I think she's the coolest thing.

No one has a name in 'The Road.' Like Cormac McCarthy's novel from which it's adapted, 'The Road' features characters such as the man, the boy, the wife, the old man and the veteran.

I just like a good story. I want the story to be good and I want the character to be different than the last one I played. That's not always possible, but that's what I want.

The other day, someone called me this generation's Bruce Dern - I'd never thought of that, and frankly, I don't know enough of Bruce Dern's work to comment on it, though he is an incredible actor.

Well, one of my favorite ones to work on - besides just about any scene from 'Deadwood' - was my scene with Brad Pitt in 'Assassination of Jesse James'. That was just a fun day.

I actually started in comedy, but then after 'Deadwood' I started concentrating on the dramas more. But then I just got tired for raping and killing and figured, 'It's time to do another comedy.

Everyone thinks their family is the craziest family in the world. Like, 'My God, my family's crazy!

I have been really lucky in my career, with the diversity of it. I get to play really complex people.

I love a good fight and I think a bad fight can ruin a movie. I really do.

I've always liked stories. I'm always reading, ever since I was a kid. I've always been reading and wanting to be in some other world.

I've long been a fan of Chiwetel Ejiofor. I think he's a great actor. He's my kind of guy. He does what I aspire to do.

This city is dying of rabies. Is the best I can do to wipe random flecks of foam from its lips?

Remember, to the last, that while there is life there is hope.

I personally think Chimes of Midnight is a much better film than Citizen Kane.

A friend often says I'm an old man in a young man's husk. I like that. I am old-fashioned in some ways.

We can convince ourselves to do things in conjunction with one another that we wouldn't have been able to do as an individual.

It is not a government's obligation to provide services, but to see that they are provided.

No. The answer was no, I was not all right. I nearly got knocked out. Knocked out by desire! Desire for forbidden dissimilar molecules

I just came out of the gym from three hours this morning. I got five hours of sleep. That's it. Every day of my life, I'm trying to find a different way to get better.

Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto!

Impossibility is only a sum of greater unrealised possibles. It veils an advanced stage and a yet unaccomplished journey.
