Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

I really believe that you never stop learning.

I'm not a proponent of people watching a movie, and then going out and doing something bad. People have been doing bad things, well before movies.

I just - you know, some people just have some very full laughter - full of joy - and have no shame or fear of letting that out.

I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me

I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.

You're always - you're constantly learning things if you're the type of person who stays open and current.

I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.

So, you need to balance it out with bigger and smaller movies.

I think that if you can achieve a balance, then you appease a lot of yourself and your career and what it takes to maintain in this business for a while

Don't hire anyone you wouldn't want to run into in the hallway at three in the morning.

There are no shadows in darkness. Shadows are created by light, and only exist in the presence of light. Refusing to acknowledge our shadow leads us to deny the presence of light in us.

You should welcome pain

There is no justice in America, but it is the fight for justice that sustains you

If you're a preacher, you talk for a living, so even if you don't make sense, you learn to make nonsense eloquently.

We want our children to live in an America...that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.

The game's in the refrigerator, the door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O's jiggling.

Leadership is about going somewhere. If you and your people don’t know where you are going, your leadership doesn’t matter.

I have no affectation when I speak

I did write some code in Java once, but that was the island in Indonesia.
