I think mostly it's the adventure that I will have in making the movie. That's what I look for.

I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.

Whatever you do, do it completely. Don't do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.

The art of survival is a story that never ends.

It's about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along.

It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.

I think trying too hard to be sexy is the worst thing in the world a woman can do.

I find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.

But I learned that there's a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there's not much else that can really get to ya.

Art is something to be proud of. Art is no compromise. As an actor, you're giving it up, you're at the mercy of so many other people.

I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.

There is uncertainty in hope, but even with its tenuous nature, it summons our strength and pulls us through fear and grief— and even death.

Fear cannot capture us, criticism cannot harm us, and pride cannot make us fall.

You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood. What mood is that? Last-minute panic.

Nature in one of her beneficent moods has ordained that even death has some antidote to its own terrors.

I love story songs. It's just, for me, they're harder to write, and sometimes they sound too intended or something.

President Obama and Hillary Clinton, every time you disagree with them it doesn't matter which subject it is, you're a bigot or you're a racist.

Is it so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the sky, to have loved, to have thought, to have done?

Nobody is going to put a limit on what I'm doing.

I've never been seriously involved with anyone. I've certainly never been in love. I've always preferred to keep things casual.

I entered what I can only describe as an alternate universe, and experienced timelessness for myself, first-hand. There was no refuting the immortality of the soul for me ever again after that.
