I played baseball in college, and then I went to Russia to study acting and played some pro ball over there.

I think anytime a movie can inspire you to think and reflect and look at your life, it's a success.

Some people that are heroes to some can be looked at by another group of people as villains. As far as a middle point, just speaking for myself, that's exactly what to avoid.

I wanted to be kicked and hit and bruised up and beaten. It became something that was an absolutely necessary part of every day for me.

I want people to think about everyone in their life, and their responsibilities to their friends, their families and their country.

I think it helps, as an actor, to never know when you're going to get that next script and you're done.

If you can figure out how to get paid to do something you love, that's the dream.

Bugs have always loved me.

I mean, I hate when actors talk about how hard their job is. It's ridiculous, because we have the best job in the world.

I've never been a big gore guy.

I think any time you can go after an audience that isn't built in, that's the job.

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.

The only reason nice guys finish last is because they think they’ll finish last. You don’t win the race by walking around the starting line saying ‘I’m not going to win this race’.

You know, the diversity that America has is so special. It's starting to really become a cool thing for young people.

Real leadership is leaders recognizing that they serve the people that they lead.

Graffiti writers will never stop. They'll just evolve. It's interesting what ideas people come up with and how it all extends forward.

When all run by common consent into vice, none appear to do so.

How could I know a famished heart will eat its mind? Can kill its body?

The past is history. The future is a mystery. The present is a gift.

Education needs to be rethought. Education does not just happen in college, but it also happens in developing skills which will enable people to contribute to our society as a whole.

The core of science is not a mathematical modeling--it is intellectual honesty. It is a willingness to have our certainties about the world constrained by good evidence and good argument.
