Teasing was big in my family, and there is a wonderful way to tease and make people feel more loved.

I grew up around a lot of feminine energy.

That's what I like about acting. You don't know where you'll be in year.

The first movie that made me cry was Dead Poets Society. That one gets me. O Captain! My Captain! That moment kills me.

My family took me to church when I was like 4 years old, and I had to be in a pageant, and I was playing Jesus.

My wife likes the hockey smell because its the smell of a warrior.

Chemistrys a funny thing. It can be instantaneous, but it helps when you know someone.

If you don't know how to play hockey, learn. If you quit, get back out there.

You can't be trying to be funny. As an adult actor, sometimes I'll muddle it up by over-thinking things.

If you will excuse me, your coat lapels are badly twisted downward, where they have been grasped by the pertinacious New York reporters.

I'd play the same character for ten years if the words and the moments that I'm playing are authentic.

Chess is all about getting the king into check, you see. It's about killing the father. I would say that chess has more to do with the art of murder than it does with the art of war.

To change, you need to accept your past and deny to be challenged and overcome by your future.

I was raised in the West. The west of Texas. It's pretty close to California. In more ways than Washington, D.C., is close to California.

Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.

The process of discovering who we are and what we are here to do . . . is dependent . . . on our ability to stay positive and to find a silver lining in all events.

It is one of God's blessings that we cannot foreknow the hour of our death; for a time fixed, even beyond the possibility of living, would trouble us more than doth this uncertainty.

We slaughter one another in our words and attitudes. We slaughter one another in the stereotypes and mistrust that linger in our heads, and the words of hate we spew from our lips.

You also have to get beyond that to dismantle the system of production for profit rather than production for use. That means dismantling at least large parts of market systems.

Technology is nothing but an expression of human values. It's not neutral, it's not about efficiency, it's about people's values and their knowledge.

He that hopes to look back hereafter with satisfaction upon past years must learn to know the present value of single minutes, and endeavour to let no particle of time fall useless to the ground.
