I took no money to make art, but my woman backed me up on it and I want my children to see their father happy.

I think a man needs to be a man. To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you'll be fine.

Like it or not, I'm the new f***ing Aquaman buddy.

Some people we know in our lives come up to a crossroads, and they could go left or right, and then end up in a totally different place.

I'm raised to actually think, to use my brain.

A wolf is not bad for eating and tearing apart something, if it's for survival. It doesn't do it to be menacing.

A lot of people don't know enough about me. When I meet people who freak out about Game of Thrones, they don't even know that I can speak English.

My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'

I don't want to just play the same thing. But with The Red Road, no one has ever seen me like that. No one really even knows that I smile, have a personality and have a sense of humor.

I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it.

I'm kind of ADD in that sense where if I start liking something, I'll just learn it to the absolute max.

The greatest weight a bird has to drop before it can fly is fear.

Wit is a thing capable of proof.

We have to focus on how do we ensure the economy works for everybody, and not just a few.

I believe when your children are born that you are reborn in some fashion.

Exercise is like an addiction. Once you're in it, you feel like your body needs it.

I don't have kids, but I do understand family, and I understand how precious family is.

What I like most about directing is creating a world more so than anything. To me, the music is the wrapping paper on that world.

An artist doesn't really create anything - he just rearranges what is already there.

You want to be in the driver’s seat of your own life because if you are not, life will drive you.
