It's quite liberating to have a director stand beside the camera and say: "Do this now, and do that now..." It's also a bit sordid but it liberates an actor, I think.

I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.

I'm probably more dangerous in a car than I am on a motorbike; on a bike I'm very mindful of the fact that if you make a mistake you're dead.

Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration.

The minute you start to strategize too much, the more you start to think you're in control of your own fate. And you're not, really.

The world seemed less scary and I started to like myself a little bit more.

I think the most romantic thing you can do is just turn up. Turn up when it's difficult for you. Travel halfway around the world or just up the road. Whatever it is, just be there.

For me, Charles Xavier is a monk. He's like a selfless, egoless almost sexless force for the betterment of humanity and mortality.

A story about my life would be utterly dull.

I think I'm losing my hair finally. And, yeah, that's kind of all I know.

We have time to accomplish the task.

I am tired of men dying because they feel alone, feeling like they are destined for prison or monotony or gender role-playing or anything less than their most divine of dreams.

I love the DJ scene out in the clubs. It is a great way to party and make people happy, the atmosphere is one that I use as an escape from reality.

Nobody looks stupid when they are having fun.

If success corrupts, I'm probably pretty corrupted by now.

Man's will is free in the sense that man can choose to do anything in keeping with his nature . . . Man's will is not free in that he is limited to his nature

The only way to real mature love is to get past the tropes of what we consider 'romance.'

When I play, I open up. I'm in the heat of the performance and it's a healing thing. It's great!

None of us is guaranteed against failure or corruption of any kind; witness what's going on in the world in this moment, the follies of human nature and the failures of human nature.

I think it is good escapist entertainment even though it's bad.
