I'm a big believer that the script is your bible.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

I really believe that you never stop learning.

I'm not a proponent of people watching a movie, and then going out and doing something bad. People have been doing bad things, well before movies.

I just - you know, some people just have some very full laughter - full of joy - and have no shame or fear of letting that out.

I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me

I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.

You're always - you're constantly learning things if you're the type of person who stays open and current.

Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.

I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.

So, you need to balance it out with bigger and smaller movies.

Living life dangerously is the key to recognizing that you can do whatever you want when you stop limiting what you believe in.

My dream was always to be on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'

I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.

You can't have anything else to say: you've poured out every drop of what you know.

Don’t tax my income, tax my consumption.

To my parents, writing seemed precarious and not the best idea.

Tis very great pity that they who are so apt to over-rate themselves in smaller matters, shou'd, where it most concerns them to know, and stand upon their Value, be so insensible of their own worth.

Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.

The willow turns his back on inclement weather. And if he can do it, we can do it.

Hillary Clinton trashes the banks every time she opens her mouth, and yet she made $21 million in two years making speeches to those very banks that she trashes every day.
