One person's religion is another person's cult.

I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.

All over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me.

Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like drugs, let them die for you.

I don't pick the roles. Your agent gets a call for you and you go and they all get together, everybody has fun at the reading, and they say, "There's chemistry here." So that's how it happens.

Truth is not born nor is it to be found inside the head of an individual person, it is born between people collectively searching for truth, in the process of their dialogic interaction

The immense and ever increasing sums which the state wrings from the people are never enough for it; it mortgages the income of future generations, and steers resolutely toward bankruptcy.
