I live my life through fear. If I'm afraid of it I'll do it just so I'm not afraid of it anymore.

I love the idea of going to work and having to fight and learn a new skill set, whether it's muay Thai or Kali or Filipino stick fighting. To me, it's like college for life.

I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place.

I like to stay busy, I like to stay focused, and I like to stay creative. Without being creative I'd be dead.

Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it's my life.

I have a bad sweet tooth. I'm pretty good when I have to eat well for work, but otherwise, I could eat a whole roll of raw cookie dough.

I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money.

I'm not very good at taking compliments. It's better than getting slapped in the face, I suppose.

I want to be a good human being.

In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.

I lived by the candlelight for two years because I couldn't afford power. It was nice and romantic at the time, but if you can't afford power you're pretty broke. You endure it.

The biggest turn off for a girl as far as I am aware apart from all logistic issues, is a guy without any mission in his life.

Of course the sexiest thing a girl can do is not complain about her body.

I've always sung in the shower. Now I make the stage a mental shower in order not to get too uptight and enjoy it.

The seeker is that which is being sought.

Too much of our lives corresponds to the 'lost-wallet' theory of life. You lose something, spend a long time finding it, and then feel grateful to be back where you started.

Before a man's forty, girls cost nothing. After that you have to pay money, or tell a story. Of the two, it's the story that hurts most. Anyway I'm not forty yet.

I have never stopped playing music.

What! alive, and so bold, O earth?

Put your talent into your work, but your genius into your life.

To say then, the majority are wicked, means no malice, no bad heart in the observer, but, simply that the majority are unripe, andhave not yet come to themselves, do not yet know their opinion.
