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

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.

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.

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

Time ripens all things

Words give sound to the beauty of Life.

By learning to contact listen to and act on our intuition we can directly connect to the higher power of the universe and allow it to become our guiding force.

The faking of feelings is a sin against the imagination.

Keep all your passions in your life.

Some misunderstandings are hard to cure.

You can't fault people for who they vote for, who they don't vote for.

We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.

Incidentally, Boies, I'm sure, is a very fine lawyer.

The mind, in short, works on the data it receives very much as the sculptor works on his block of stone.
