I'll let life take me where it will.

I like underdogs, I like anti-heroes - people that have a hard time overcoming things in life.

Being human is being a lot of things at the same time.

I hooked up with director Jacques Audiard for this film called 'Rust & Bone' with Marion Cotillard. I loved that experience so much I'm truly sad that it's over!

We all get damned in our lives, and there are ripple effects. One thing can determine a life, and it's hard to overcome that if the event is really traumatic. Your life is completely condemned by it.

Tongue and hand tied, I was equally cut off and trapped in my own silent dark tomb.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

I love the Bible. I read it every day. I spend 10 hours a week studying it. It has affected my life in profound ways. I am inspired when I read it.

The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.

There is beauty in everything, even in silence and darkness.

There are no races. Only lotteries.

Working is very important to me. Probably because as a child I was taught that work was good. I don’t believe it intellectually but I identify with that idea. So it’s probably just like a habit.

Kids need to start thinking for themselves. Not to be like their friends that think they're individuals. I don't want you to be like us, I want you to be like you.

My personal sense of humor is edgy, I would say more cable-like: words you're not allowed to say, ideas that the majority of people might say, "That's too risqué for me."

I would never go to jail to protect animals or plants or wilderness. For me, it’s about the people.
