I love working with Liev [Schreiber]. I've known him for a long time. I just think he is a master. Few actors are so self-possessed and so focused and so confident.

Intimidation is 99 percent in the intimidatee's head.

It was fun shooting with Josh [Holloway], not just how great he is, but just how handsome he is.

Sports and politics are basically all I really care about or talk about.

Anything government or politics is always exciting for me.

Every actor wants to do more, because you always think you can improve it.

Shia [LaBeouf] was great. He's just high energy. He's into really playing, and I had to be on my toes in a way that I wasn't necessarily expecting.

When you're not gaping at Megan Fox enough to listen to what the director's saying, you can get some work done.

Hugh Laurie was intimidating, but he's the greatest guy. He's so wonderful and smart and funny and serious, and he sets the bar high. So if I was scared, it's because I wasn't measuring up.

I guess actors don't like to direct each other.

It can be easy and comfortable on the set and you don't go anywhere, or it can be a stress machine and all of a sudden it's a hit.

The things we remember are what we hold on to. And what we hold on to becomes the story of our lives.

A fair and just society offers equality of opportunity to all. But it cannot promise, and should not try to enforce, sameness.

His hands are miracles. I can watch them for hours, transforming wood into something it never dreamed of being.

My daddy was determined to make me a dentist and a baseball player. And I loved my daddy but I wasted four years of college trying to do what he wanted me to do, and not what I felt I wanted to do.

Mistletoe, the same plant you kiss under at holiday time, may be an effective aid against certain types of cancer.

Work on psychological blocks like shame and guilt - they falsely color your reality.

Seek justice from tyrannical governments not with your hat in your hands but with a rifle in your fist.

Oh this is reality, not a fable, that the Lord Jesus Christ is our friend. And we should not be satisfied until we are brought to this.

I don't even have moderately big breasticles. They just look like - well, nevermind what they look like. At least they stay strapped down when I worm into a sports bra.

And it has become a kind of a truism in the study of creativity that you can't be creating anything with less than 10 years of technical knowledge immersion in a particular field.
