I think my career would probably be in a better place had I been more aggressive. But I don't have it in me. I'm not a competitive person, and I'm also really private.

A hero is somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tries to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really deeply cares.

I started doing makeup to make a living. Then I said, You're not supposed to be putting powder on other people. You're supposed to be powdering yourself.

Being typecast is a great thing for an actor. I was considered one of the New York mob actors.

Sometimes in life you have to make a decision and make sacrifices.

Worship is God's enjoyment of us and our enjoyment of him.

I'm not a republican any more. Not so voraciously anyway - I'm not in favour of the concept of monarchy, but I do see the good in it if there's a good person in the role.

I think just letting go is a really good thing to do in many areas of your life, songwriting included.

That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially.

Just media alone is not enough. You have to have organization.

Cinema has become my life. I dont mean a parallel world, I mean my life itself. I sometimes have the impression that the daily reality is simply there to provide material for my next film.
