I was a slightly melancholy child and I think films were a way of escaping for me.

Everybody, at some point in their life, has fallen down and not felt like getting back up, but you have to, no matter how difficult it is.

It's generally more fun playing the villain

I'm usually the guy who knocks everyone out in order to get the girl.

I mean I’m 16 and 17 years wiser now. So if I could do it when I was 18 with a guy, I can certainly do it at 33 with a lady.

I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.

I think we can affect our own fates, but there's also a powerful energy that's the universe or God or whatever your unconscious recognizes that helps along your way.

I have too many control issues, so it just is not good for me to go and watch a film, too soon after I make it.

It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.

Oh, get off it with that. So sensitive about language. Mate, love, nest, whatever. Point is, it stinks, especially when it goes bad. I get wanting to run away.

Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath.

If you could utilize the resources of the end users' computers, you could do things much more efficiently.

There are people that appreciate the music for its musical value and there are people that will always think that it should be reserved as an expression for people who grew up with it.

As it is impossible to be outside God, the best is consciously to dwell in Him.

Music and text have several commonalities, and one is meter and rhythm. Both spoken word and music have certain regularities, and they can be sub-divided rhythmically.

desserts are the most crucial part of any meal.

You just see your hands, your ice axe, and your crampons...and they have to just move.

The sands are number'd that make up my life; Here must I stay, and here my life must end.
