I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.

Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.

In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life you don't get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.

If I'm not doing something or working on something, I literally just sit in the room and think, which I don't think is productive. I won't go outside for days.

For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.

I feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.

I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

It's hard to kill that father-son bond.

I loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It's one of the best things I've had a chance to do.

I used to eat a whole chicken every day, for lunch. I did that for four years. But it got tiring - go to the store, buy it, eat it. It’s a mess.

Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.

...that realisation that I was the oddity, the statistical probability, life was predictable.

There should be a measure for happiness or sadness, like the width of your smile, the twinkle in your eyes, the depth of your laughter or the salt of your tears.

I just wanted to make movies, but I never though about, "How am I being perceived because of my culture or my skin?"

I don't have a vast longing for the stage.

I like money. It's fun to fold and stack and smell and look at. It's just plain fun to count money, and I often do it in a loud falsetto while wearing nothing but a captain's hat and a coin changer.

It's possible to dazzle a crowd if you really work at it. But that is no qualification for leadership. Hitler was a master of crowds.

I've done several commercials and I've done voiceovers for documentaries.

I'd want Puerto Rico to become the 51st state of America.

I have not the slightest confidence in 'spiritual manifestations.'

It does not matter if you believe in God, because God believes in you.
