Unfortunately, I feel as actors we have to fight for the right to really go in as many directions as possible.

I've always done things the hard way. I was born like a piece of tangled yarn. The job is trying to untangle it, and I'll probably go on doing it for the rest of my life.

Eventually you love people - friends or lovers - because of their flaws.

I've never done anything for money. My first love is things of limited commercial appeal. I could be happy doing Shakespeare for the rest of my life.

I'm about as healthy as a person can be. I quit smoking seven or eight years ago.

I thought, I need to reinvent myself. I want every day of life to be wonderful, fascinating, interesting, creative. And what am I gonna do to make that happen?

If you just work on your upper body, you're not going to be a full-range dancer or performer. You've got to work in all directions as much as you possibly can.

Sometimes I think candor is the only kindness.

Let's just say I decided that while my son is young I don't want to do projects that would take me away for months.

Scripts are kind of a bare bones type of reading material.

I don't necessarily like being defined by my profession.

You should keep calm and listen to voice inside you

The future is today.

I want to go to New Zealand. I have no idea what it's like, and in my head, everyone lives in/on an ice lake, so I'd like to come stay.

Let no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of honour, on the plausible pretence that he is justified by the goodness of his end. All good ends can be worked out by good means.

Of all ebriosity, who does not prefer to be intoxicated by the air he breathes?

You have to be professional and think about the future.

I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.

I've lived in Paris. I've lived in the Slovak Republic. I've spent extensive time in England, and I've traveled all over Europe.

I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife.

He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.
