The problem to me is violence. It's not cool to kill somebody or hurt people.

It's easy to do nothing, but your heart breaks a little more every time you do.

I remember riding my bike down the boardwalk with nowhere to go and looking at the girls. It was really innocent.

I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself.

I think of marriage as a garden. You have to tend to it. Respect it, take care of it, feed it. Make sure everyone is getting the right amount of, um, sunlight.

Love conquers all - love is the grace that transcends any kind of injustice in the end.

When you have to fight for the things you love, you have to measure the value of those things in ways you may not in any other way.

It is a fact that, today, up to seven million people a year are dying from fossil fuel pollution.

You value the thing you are fighting for, but then you learn to value the time it takes to do it and the time you have off. Both of which are precious.

Burning natural gas will not save us from climate change. It's the same as burning any other carbon-based fuel.

People say funny things all the time during really serious moments in life.

Life is a rich literature.

Truth is what you think, not what you find.

It's cool when frat boys say, 'Yeah, 'Hedwig!' I'd like to see that same thing happen with 'Shortbus.'

Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.

Mutual ignorance breeds mutual distrust.

In a fallen world, if you demand perfection or nothing, you will always get nothing.

I was such a dork. I was too big. I was really gangly.

I'll never be able to fill my father's or grandfather's shoes, but hopefully I can stand on their shoulders and reach farther.

I wanna be free. Free to scream, free to bathe, free to paint my toes all day.

My interests are different now than they were thirty years ago.
