It is hard sometimes to see how other actors are working when you are working with them.

The guys on the stunt team are really fantastic. It's really funny, because for all the aggression they have to display on screen, they're actually really happy, good- natured people.

Every director is completely different.

Around the time of 'The Lord of the Rings,' it was a shock to me just how big it is to be on that kind of media juggernaut. It was a big thing and the scrutiny was shocking.

I hate being pigeon-holed into anything. To me, the best thing is when the next job comes and is completely different to the one that I just had.

I'd always had a big thing for the '60s.

Writers would hate me saying this, and I love words, but I have to say that cinema exists, on one level, for the power of the big image and what that image does.

I'm so fair that I didn't go in the sun as a child. When all my friends were on the beach, I was going to ballet. The teachers there didn't like you going in the sun, so I never did.

Acting is a freelance career... you never stop having to prove yourself and fight for work.

Some scripts you read and say, 'I've just got to do this' and you find a way of making it work. Some things you turn down because of the impact on family.

I think you go through a period as a teenager of being quite cool and unaffected by things.

Sin, in its simplest definition, is the misuse or abuse of anything GOD created.

The foolish families worry over blood. I care nothing for purity of family or ancestry. That is a vain thing. I care only for strength. What a man can do to other men, women.

Free love, man, Free Love! Which, by the way, was the single greatest concept a young man has ever heard. About three years late, women got wise an my frustration returned to normal levels.

Summon your inner courage to ensure you strive unhindered - toward your chosen goals.

For the very reason that we expect things to be good and beautiful, they won't be. In genuine spirituality, we don't look for bliss.

Rudeness luxuriates in the absence of self-respect.

Peak performance is meditation in motion.

The earth is moved from its position by the weight of a tiny bird resting upon it.

Each role, I feel like takes you on a different journey based on who that character is.

I'm not religious, so theres no church on Sunday.
