North America makes a ton of movies and there's a ton of movies that are exceptional.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.

I always kept myself fairly fit.

Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.

The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.

I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.

I often times find with movies that the heavier the onscreen situation is, the more levity there is off screen. It's almost out of necessity.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.

Is there any adventure like living life?

Through a forest of challenges, thought moves and squirms, resisting beguilements; if it endures, it emerges pure.

Yeah, at first people were talking about me. But now everyone is wearing their clothes more fitted.

Knowledge and wisdom must go hand in hand. The adept will therefore endeavour to get on in knowledge as well as in wisdom, for neither of the two must lag behind in development.

The men I find myself attracted to are the ones who don't say anything and are quite shy.

It is hard to grow up in a society in which one's important problems are treated as nonexistent. It is impossible to belong to it, it is hard to fight to change it.

It's fun to work on location because you get the look and feel of everything, but it's nice to be on a stage because you can control the elements.

people say churches are half empty, they're not, they're too big

Chopsticks box! I didn't know before and put them on the table and my Japan friends scolded me.

Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored with the light of true discretion without which the soul is worth nothing.
