Well, it's really important to be honest with the person that you're seeing.

When I was in high school, I wasn't a troublemaker. I didn't get in fights. I was a good student and I had a lot of friends.

I mean, I like nice girls, and I like people who are generous.

I went to a school in N.Y. that is conceptual and interdisciplinary and modeled after Cal Arts. It is not just painting or sculpture; it was everything mixed together.

The truth is, I don't really have a type of girl.

I wasn't into acting when I was a kid. Maybe because I was shy or it didn't occur to me.

I think there are certain technical things about acting that change between working in film and television. Everything definitely slows down and we have more time in film.

It (the sun) didn't really care how I felt, it was going to rise and set regardless of whether I noticed it, and if I was going to enjoy it, that was up to me.

There were times in 'Adaptation' during the editing where I really thought, 'Okay, well, this was a noble failure. I tried to do something good, but this is not going to work.'

It's hard to penetrate characters who are very cut off and lack empathy and to do it with sympathy. It's so easy to make a damaged character repugnant.

Complete happiness lies in obedience to Allāh, and anguish is found in disobedience to Him and opposition against Him.

I grew up learning to do more with less.

At the moment the Queen stuff does sell really well, but there's no guarantee it'll go on forever

Economists are very good at saying that something cannot go on forever, but not so good at saying when it will stop.

Every role that you don't get burns you for a while.

Movies are very expensive endeavors, and my first film was not particularly a money-maker. Quite the opposite.

Chess is a miniature version of life.
