That's a lot more legitimate than the retail therapy I do.

I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.

I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.

Basically, Beautiful Creatures was the first lead that I had since Tetro, and it was a lesson in seeing what it's like to film a movie that's of a much bigger scale. It was a good initiation.

The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.

For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.

You get bummed out, and then you go, "Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself." That kind of helps.

I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation; it's a calling.

I buy myself a present whenever I don't get a role that I really wanted.

So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.

The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.

There I lay, wearing dead people as armor against death.

If you are the light of peace there will be no darkness of hatred.

The secret protects itself. It is found only in the spirit and practice of the Work.

To return to our authenticity, we have to let go of all that we are not. We recognize and let go of the judgments, fears, and “shoulds” that keep us stuck.

The movies I usually do are maybe three or four weeks because they don't have a lot of money.

This is our world, although the people who drew this map decided to put their own land on top of ours. There is no top or bottom, you see.

There's the people who have one of these cell phones in their pockets and don't have a clue how it's made. But I really want to understand.

Flowers are reincarnation. They come out of the earth of our ashes. Nothing else looks so soul-like.

When life gives you lemons, throw them back.

O my Saviour, who am I, that Thou shouldst have so long awaited my repentance!
