I want to be a good human being.

I love the idea of going to work and having to fight and learn a new skill set, whether it's muay Thai or Kali or Filipino stick fighting. To me, it's like college for life.

I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place.

I like to stay busy, I like to stay focused, and I like to stay creative. Without being creative I'd be dead.

Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it's my life.

I have a bad sweet tooth. I'm pretty good when I have to eat well for work, but otherwise, I could eat a whole roll of raw cookie dough.

I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money.

I'm not very good at taking compliments. It's better than getting slapped in the face, I suppose.

In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.

I don't change. The things around me change.

Dive deep. Drown willingly

One race, Many cultures, One place.

Poverty does not cause violence and terrorism. Lack of education does not cause terrorism.

What kind of nation are we when we give tax breaks to billionaires, but we can't take care of the elderly and the children.

I'm amazed sometimes by the Christians who don't really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

The sensitiveness claimed by neurotic is matched by their egotism: they cannot abide the flaunting by others of the sufferings to which they pay an even increasing amount of attention in themselves.

So little time we live in Time, And we learn all so painfully, That we may spare this hour's term To practice for Eternity.

I would dye my hair every week. I wanted to be a really goth teenager.

The choices and decisions we make in terms of how we use the land ultimately affect our very DNA. Environmental issues are life issues.

Compassion is the intention to see each human being as no better or worse than yourself, neither more nor less important, and as fundamentally similar to yourself.
