[Warren Beatty] is voraciously detail-oriented.

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.

Like all who search for truth out of fear, I desperately wanted someone else to tell me exactly what to do.

Since history is not an objective reality, but only an imaginative reconstruction of vanished events, the pattern that appears useful and agreeable to one generation is never entirely so to the next.

I never went dancing again.

For Milady was well aware that her most seductive power was in her voice, which could run skilfully through the whole scale of tones, from mortal speech, upwards to the language of heaven.

So many people want to die when all they need is to start living.

A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you.

One feels 'the dearth of human words, the roughness of mortal speech' in trying to describe things intangible.

I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I'm the container.

I'm probably going to have to go with Kobester. He's an assassin with LeBron coming right after.

Philosophy is the microscope of thought. Everything desires to flee from it, but nothing escapes it.
