I just like to keep challenging myself, keep it varied. It's a craft, and I'm constantly trying to learn and get better at it.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.

It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.

I always want my options to be open.

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.

You won't find a better young actor than Jaeden Lieberher. I ended up having one of the best times with him, really. Going to work with him every day was a treat.

The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.

I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.

A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger.

I'm not bossy - I just happen to be more capable than most everyone else.

If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started I was desperately wishing to be where I am now.

I'll do whatever it takes to get you back in my life.

My dad said, 'Stay humble, and you gotta work harder than everybody else.' My mom said, 'Always be yourself.' She always told me only God can judge me.

The determined fixing of our will upon God, and pressing toward him steadily and without deflection; this is the very center and the art of prayer.

It's not our disadvantages or shortcomings that are ridiculous, but rather the studious way we try to hide them, and our desire to act as if they did not exist.

From the first moment of life, men ought to begin learning to deserve to live.

My voice is definitely a big present for me from God, because it's not like I can even take credit for it.

I'm in a very lucky position. You have to remember that 95 percent of all actors aren't working. I'm actually able to go to France and work. It's a situation I couldn't have dreamt up.

My objective was to have as varied a selection of roles as possible. It probably did hurt my career.
