To me acting originally became an extension of game playing.

Film has a tendency to be limiting in some way and it shouldn't be. It's a form that can be explored and changed.

I think I'm a bit of a dreamer. I don't like the reality of life to impinge much on my life.

We're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely

I was on top of Keanu Reeves, he was on his back and I was on my trunk, and I was breathing down his neck for hours and hours. It was... very erotic.

It's kind of chased away a few demons for me and, um, it's educated me a little bit more.

I used to have two double espressos a day. I gave that up, had headaches for five days but now I'm feeling great.

When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

I think when your image becomes so big that it's hard for a viewer to see a character, then I think you're in danger as an actor of being unable to perform what you should be doing.

It's a real pleasure to go to work when you're in the most extraordinary surroundings, and working with people who are young and interested and creatively keen.

I keep thinking I should get a phone, because everyone's got one and it becomes increasingly difficult to exist in a society where everyone else has moved ahead and you haven't.

The music lets me see the story but the story doesn't let me write the words.

No life is messier than one in ministry

When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

In the finest critics one hears the full cry of the human. They tell one why it matters to read.

I am one of those marranes who no longer say they are Jews even in the secret of their own hearts.

The way I feel about it is: Beat me or feed me, but don't tease me. It's toy food; who needs it? Serve it to toy people.

The Nazis victimized some people for what they did, some for what they refused to do, some for what they were, and some for the fact that they were.

I prefer sneaking in the back door.

Anywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.

No point in ignoring the truth. Doesn't make it worse to have it said out loud.
