I remember pretending to be the characters in the movies when I was a little kid.

I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.

I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.

Basically, Beautiful Creatures was the first lead that I had since Tetro, and it was a lesson in seeing what it's like to film a movie that's of a much bigger scale. It was a good initiation.

The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.

For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.

You get bummed out, and then you go, "Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself." That kind of helps.

Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets, and that when ballots have fairly and constitutionall y decided there can be no successful appeal back to bullets.

I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.

The appointing power of the Pope is treated as a public trust, and not as a personal perquisite.

If you're not living your truth, you're living a lie.

Godly people are waiting for the Lord; therefore they live, therefore they are saved, therefore they receive what has been promised.

I've often said that we are doing something far more important than just selling cosmetics; we are changing lives.

People confuse compassion with government being compassionate with other people's money versus people being compassionate with their own money.

Music has the power to unite us. It proves that by working together, we can create something truly beautiful.

No experience is ever wasted. Everything has meaning.
