Sometimes I'm uncomfortable with the level of fame I've got! It all depends on the day and what's going on. I don't desire any more fame. I don't need it.

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 work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.

No one wants to be pretentious about what they do or take it seriously, because that is just weird.

I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

To be loved, I think, is the thing that gets you up in the morning.

Roses are red, violets are blue, I have five fingers, the middle one is for you.

One is never fortunate or as unfortunate as one imagines.

Expedience, not justice, is the rule of contemporary American law.

When I work fourteen hours a day, seven days a week, I get lucky.

Maintaining spirituality and humanism are the keys to success. Its a balance.

Actors like to play bad guys because they're more fun. They also win more awards.

The inner experience of meditation can be had without any kind of forced discipline. The outer trappings - how one sits, breathes, dresses, and so forth - are irrelevant.

People with a lot of theological study and no prayer life are dangerous... and not in a good way.

I like to have the impression that whatever is happening is true.

Set honour in one eye and death i' the other, And I will look on both indifferently.
