I wanted to be an actor, and when that day happened that was sort of like the end. Now let it take me.

Look, I've always been a confident bloke. I'm grateful to my mother for that.

I simply went down there to catch up with an old mate of mine, who owns the place. He's the one who wrote the book on the place, but no, no movie, just a beer.

Never tell tales about a woman. No matter how far away she is, shell always hear you.

You know, I stumble about what I'm going to do. I don't plan. I've never had ambitions.

It costs a lot of money to release a movie. What you'd call art-house movies - movies that don't have big stars or big budgets - they're very hard for distributors to get behind 'em and take chances.

They also work as half-hours. The stories are all different but include elements of revenge, or the supernatural, or some sort of surprise.

I feel free and strong. If I were not a reader of books I could not feel this way. Whatever may happen to me, thank God that I can read, that I have truly touched the minds of other men.

Extremities are flawed. Moderation is ideal, save for one occasion.So damn these eyes that weep too much.This mind that thinks too much. But never this heart that loves too much.

It's easy to be a saint when all you've known is the good.

Comics are a gateway drug to literacy.

It is not such a fiercesome thing to lead once you see your leadership as part of God's overall plan for His world.

Men are seldom underrated; the mercury in a man finds its true level in the eyes of the world just as certainly as it does in the glass of a thermometer.

I try to keep a balance between conceptional or intellectual comprehension and emotional understanding.

Let not one single life have passed in vain. What really matters is who you love and how you love.

Honestly, I look at the project and I look at the people attached and I look at the director. If it's a role that I feel will help me, as an actor, then I'll definitely take it.

Well, honey, a shot never does a coke any harm!
