I knew 'Like Crazy' would be good, I just knew it, and that's why I fought so hard to be on it.

I played rugby most of my life and then I switched to snowboarding, which provided me a lot of inspiration.

I have this side of me that is a very European flamboyant; I won't say queenie, but it's borderline - could be perceived as homosexual.

I've scammed so many people throughout my whole life who never learned my true identity until I started acting.

I never, ever worry about anybody recognizing me.

I like to run on the beach. It's a different exercise as well when you're in sand, a different kind of training.

I don't really read too much. It really is counter to my energy. I can't sit down and concentrate on words.

Getting up at 6 A.M. to run is something that keeps you on the straight and narrow.

For lack of a better word, acting is therapeutic. You really are breaking down barriers, exorcising demons and finding more out about yourself.

I'm a color person, I've never been known to play it safe. Plus I like big bags. My eyeglasses are so big; they don't fit into smaller bags.

I'm content with making records, but I don't want to be doing the same thing all the time.

A crazy man finishes in the cemetery.

The next time you have a choice between chasing the charts (whichever charts you keep track of) and doing the work your customers crave, do the work instead.

I believe it is important that we Japanese write a constitution for ourselves that would reflect the shape of the country we consider desirable in the 21st century.

Lebanon will be engulfed again in a huge power game that will last quite a long time. This is the tragic destiny of Lebanon.
