I want to work with a director who becomes my brother, my father, for two months. You give yourself over to that person.

I watched Gene Kelly for his smile, for his energy. Vittorio Gassman for his movement. Clark Gable for his mustache. And I watched Lassie who was happy as a dog.

I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.

I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.

I don't represent myself as a star, but an actor who wants to make movies.

I don't care about my image.

I like simple things. I like being in my family in the South and playing petanque.

I watched a lot of Douglas Fairbanks movies. He always played the same role with a mustache. Zorro had a mustache. The Musketeer had a mustache. Tarzan had a mustache.

I like the hot-cold, the sugar-salt, being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life, I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.

In many cases for an actor it's a comfortable position to be in. But it's harder to fail as a director.

I don't want everyone to like me, and I don't choose who likes me. You have to give them the choice, give them the option.

A new poll shows that Senator Kerry's support in the South is strongest amongst blacks. Kerry's appeal to Southern blacks is obvious. He is a white man who lives far, far away.

Fage does not make great yogurt.

Jesus Christ didnt commit the gospel to an advertising agency; He commissioned disciples. And He didnt command them to put up signs and pass out tracts; He said that they would be His witnesses.

Hong Kong is not just a global financial center. It's also a place with a lot of teens and youth who love freedom, democracy, and human rights.

I guess I've been naive my entire life.

When I was in N.Y. bartending, I was in a billion music videos. I was in Madonna, George Michael, Salt-n-Pepa - it goes on and on.

There is no humiliation more abusive than hunger.

New truths become evident when new tools become available.

I'm not wild about accepting responsibility without authority. Why should my people be?
