There's a real sense of fighting and destruction in our DNA that we don't get in touch with.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.

I always kept myself fairly fit.

Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.

The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.

I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.

I often times find with movies that the heavier the onscreen situation is, the more levity there is off screen. It's almost out of necessity.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.

The secret is not following the right path, it's following that right path to the end. Don't quit, my friend, until you've arrived.

Shrines! Shrines! Surely you don't believe in the gods. What's your argument? Where's your proof?

By being friends with all, we are not alone.

Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly. Failures make their decisions slowly and change their minds quickly.

One has to build a fist against anti-Semitism-a first class orchestra will be this fist.

I wouldn't be in a legitimate business for all the money in the world.

Brooklyn is a very weird borough.

It doesn't take a lot to make me happy. I take pleasure from everything I do.

What we now have is the freedom which attends decadence, or the decadence which attends freedom.

One of the things that drives me crazy is the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things.
