I was an athlete when I was growing up.

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.

I want to be a good human being.

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 lived by the candlelight for two years because I couldn't afford power. It was nice and romantic at the time, but if you can't afford power you're pretty broke. You endure it.

Every action you take, leads to a consequence you face. Choose wisely!

America's commitment to religious freedom and tolerance should not be conditional.

Historically, when Americans don't know what to do next, they go to Paris. Benjamin Franklin is like: 'What am I going to do now? I'll go to Paris!'

I'm of course nostalgic for Barack Obama all of a sudden.

Catharsis is about cleansing and healing at one and the same time - healing memories and attitudes, healing the spirit and the heart.

Gardening...demands a certain attitude. It is necessary to accept the dynamism of vegetation with serenity.

Laughter - that is something very sacred especially for us Indians.

A freshet in the autumn does not compensate for a drought in the spring.
