It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I just like to keep challenging myself, keep it varied. It's a craft, and I'm constantly trying to learn and get better at it.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.

I always want my options to be open.

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.

You won't find a better young actor than Jaeden Lieberher. I ended up having one of the best times with him, really. Going to work with him every day was a treat.

The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.

I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.

A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger.

We often end our journeys without beginning them. We learn about the world without knowing ourselves.

The only genius that's worth anything is the genius for hard work.

Truth is a great flirt.

I have no confidence in a man whose faults you cannot see.

The summer of 1830 I... blasted the tunnel through the rock to take water from the dam above the falls for the mill... In 1831 we lowered the tunnel four feet, and built a new dam across the creek.

It was so easy to play tennis, so easy.

People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.

Just like in Christianity or Buddhism, obviously there are certain practices that dictate one's life, but I don't think you can say all Muslim women are a certain way.

The world is split into two halves: the bacon, and the bacon eaters.

Is not falling down. Failure Is desiring to live Where I have fallen.
