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

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

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.

Leadership amongst the crowd is often the one who has the least to gain and the most to offer......-bns

Being unheard is the ground floor of giving up, and giving up is the ground floor of doing yourself in. It’s not so much, what’s the point? It’s more like, what’s the difference?

I pulled out my mp3 player and stuck the buds in, and letting out a big breath, I started to scroll through my music for something appropriate to kill by. John Tesh, it is.

This is cooperation [with Hezbollah, Iran , from Russia], I don't know what you mean by support. We have cooperation with countries for decades. Why talk about this cooperation now ?

Investors believe in the best possible outcome.

Everybody should have a chance to rise. That's our philosophy in Ohio and that's my philosophy for America.

If we were to impose greater sanctions on economic sectors, I think we could have a significant impact on Putin.

It is easy to find fault, if one has that disposition. There was once a man who, not being able to find any other fault with his coal, complained that there were too many prehistoric toads in it.

Obviously the original 'Tron' was a very influential movie for its time, so to be a part of the second one is very exciting.

I am long on ideas, but short on time. I expect to live to be only about a hundred.
