I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.

The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.

I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.

I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.

When you're in love, you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.

The more we mask ourselves, the freer we're able to be within ourselves.

I love ambiguity. People are that way. People are very hard to work out. No one is just strong or just fragile, or anything like that.

People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.

There is absolutely, 100 percent, a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone who stutters.

I've always been quite a spontaneous person, so I would lean more towards, if you feel it and you know its right, then do it.

Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.

Never fear to pursue your dream.

I wouldn't be comfortable, but at least I'd have marginal protection against pointy steel objects that went stab in the night.

A man has no more character than he can command in a time of crisis.

The knighthood was a tremendous honour, I don't dismiss it. But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor.

One who works for his own profit is likely to work hard. One who works for the use of others, without profit to himself, is likely not to work any harder than he must.

When you give of yourself, it's draining.

I'm a secret interior decorator. There's a mural on my dining room wall of the railroad tracks at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. I love having my hometown with me out here in California.

I'm not sure history has ended.

I focus on spiritual wealth now, and I'm busier, more enthusiastic, and more joyful than I have ever been.

Matrimony is the union of meanness and martyrdom.
