I still consider myself a young actor, I'm 34; I still view it as the beginning of my career. You can get infatuated with acting in a way that makes you less an actor than an acting appreciator.

I like anything that is like an obstruction, something that I have to act through is good.

If all the circumstances of acting are made to easy, then there's no grain of sand to make the pearl.

It is very possible that I could have ended up on 80 acres of land by myself, and fallen in love at a distance with a gorgeous woman I could never have been with.

Im okay with being unimpressive. I sleep better.

I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.

I've always looked at the world as a place where people have done evil things. There are people in the world, for instance, that would describe Americans as evil.

I like to work as an actor. Not just for money, but because I really enjoy acting.

I just pick the best roles that are left over, and they usually aren't the heterosexual, leading-man, non-drug-addict parts. And once you get into doing them, people know you do them.

To me, one of the main things that a director does is create the tone of his movie.

I frequently gravitate toward characters that have some urgency or soul.

Only the brilliance of your soul can keep you breathing while you sleep.

Like rain drops dripping on the floor like a thousand drumists beating those drums repeatedly, My blood runs through my veins ninety nine point nine metres per second when i think of you.

I've dated men my age, younger than me and older. The only difference is the young ones are quicker at taking out the garbage.

I have a high art, I hurt with cruelty those who would damage me.

I had the first integrated Army band in World War II.

When I see ya baby girl, I miss feelin on ya. I miss everything that's real about ya and that's everything about ya, that's just how I feel about ya

You run on the treadmill. But you need to stop watching The Food Network when you're doing it. That is how you torture yourself.

There can no longer be anyone too poor to vote.

I feel like I'm always put with someone who's like, "Come on! Please be happy!".

I am that by which I know 'I am'
