I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me.

I grew up doing musicals. I've done so many musicals in my life, I kind of got them out of my system. But, I certainly would be open to them. Rocky Horror Show is a big favorite of mine.

I tend to project my father figure onto any director that I'm working with, or mother, if I'm working with a female, or it can be confused.

The thrill of coming home has never changed.

My problem is I'm an addictive personality. I can't have one coffee. I can't eat one piece of chocolate. I can't have a little bit of drugs.

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Danger is opportunity inside out.

And then he'd tried to become an official Atheist and hadn't got the rock-hard self-satisfied strength of belief even for that.

People with weaknesses get killed by the people who lack them. Notice I'm not dead.

I tried to make sense of things. Now that I think about it, I have always tried. It could be my epitaph. LEO GURSKY: HE TRIED TO MAKE SENSE.

Most human behavior is nothing other than the avoidance of pain and the pursuit of pleasure.

Pity you can't attach an extra arm to your [broom], Malfoy. Then it could catch the Snitch for you.

I'm cancer-free right now. That's it.

You wouldn't want Alan Greenspan to write the instructions for assembling a beach chair.

Can any praise be worthy of the Lord's majesty?
