I wouldn't say 'Avatar' changed my life, but it definitely changed my career.

With correction, and given the chance, 'Terra Nova' can and will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. 'Terra Nova' is the Hubble Telescope of television.

I loved Laurel and Hardy and TV shows like 'Robin Hood' and 'Rama of the Jungle'.

I've played the clarinet since I was a kid. I love to sing, but I'm not much of a singer. Let's say that when it comes to vocalizing, I have the soul of Billy Bigelow but the voice of Jigger Cragan.

I am very fond of the people, landscape, poetry, music, history and the Guinness. Being there makes me think of my mother and my grandmother - always sentimental and warm thoughts.

I don't think there is a role that I did twenty years ago that I couldn't do better now.

I don't believe that being against the war can be equated with being non-supportive of our troops.

My job, professionally, is tapping into stuff. We've all got it. But, I just am fortunate enough that, beyond the age of 11, it's what I do professionally.

Your primary tools, as an actor, are observation and imagination. You can pretty much get everything you need from that, and you do. It brings back that element of pretend.

Fortitude, determination... in a way they're things that I idealize myself and am curious about.

Acting can be a very reactive profession. Acting is a fantastic thing, and it's my life, but writing is also part of me too, so I did it and in so doing took responsibility for my own life.

How many people has this hotel eaten?

In a corner of my soul there hides a tiny frightened child, who is frightened by a corner where there lingers something wild.

How I measure riches is by the friends I have and the loved ones I have and the people I care about in my life and that is where my values are and those are my riches.

I have loved you woman as surely as I have named you rust and sand and nylon.

I appreciate nature as well and everything green.

Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don't base your self-esteem on their opinions.

I suppose some people find their voice later than others, but it's interesting to look back at really early work to see that there's some kernel or a Rosetta Stone, in a way.

I'm still driving along on the pop freeway of life. Thinking even further into the future, I definitely want to make an acoustic record. I want to try lots of different things.

Lest when I am gone you may be at a loss for an epitaph for me, let me give you one - He Fed Fevers.

Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art.
