I think I'm more demanding than any wife.

I watched Gene Kelly for his smile, for his energy. Vittorio Gassman for his movement. Clark Gable for his mustache. And I watched Lassie who was happy as a dog.

I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.

I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.

I don't represent myself as a star, but an actor who wants to make movies.

I don't care about my image.

I like simple things. I like being in my family in the South and playing petanque.

I watched a lot of Douglas Fairbanks movies. He always played the same role with a mustache. Zorro had a mustache. The Musketeer had a mustache. Tarzan had a mustache.

I like the hot-cold, the sugar-salt, being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life, I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.

In many cases for an actor it's a comfortable position to be in. But it's harder to fail as a director.

I don't want everyone to like me, and I don't choose who likes me. You have to give them the choice, give them the option.

If there is a God, the King of kings, there is also a Kingdom. If there is a Kingdom, there must also be an army. Now the question is, are you in this army and are you willing to fight for your King?

I love sports - if I'm not acting, I'm probably doing sports.

Women and elephants never forget an injury.

It's easy to become a satellite today without even being aware of it. This country can seduce God. Yes, it has that seductive power; the power of the dollar.

Life is too short to waste time changing the sheets every week. Especially when you have small children who tend to wait until you change the sheets to then wet the sheets.

Really you don't need more information. If you've lived twenty years, you probably have enough material for the rest of your life

History is fond of her grandchildren, for it offers them the marrow of the bones, which the previous generation had hurt its hands in breaking.

My journey is technical complexity.

You don’t pay back, you pay forward.

Sometimes it's worth getting lost to see who will come looking for us.
