Without faith, without belief in something, what are we?

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I just like to keep challenging myself, keep it varied. It's a craft, and I'm constantly trying to learn and get better at it.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.

It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.

I always want my options to be open.

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.

You won't find a better young actor than Jaeden Lieberher. I ended up having one of the best times with him, really. Going to work with him every day was a treat.

The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.

I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.

Cheating and lying aren't struggles, they're reasons to break up.

Solitary confinement is rock bottom, it’s absolute unfreedom.

Beware of the man whose God is in the skies.

Pity costs nothin' and ain't worth nothin'.

I am a hot-blooded fire and I am fearless.

The Kyoto theorists have put the cart before the horse. It is global warming that triggers higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, not the other way round.

Sixteen years I've pounded my head against the mentality of America, which...I'd say it's about an 8th grade emotional level.

You know, I'm fifty-two now and I call myself a singer. Before I kick it I want to be able to carry a tune in a living room if called upon. Of course, mine come out all dark and twisted and weird.

For me, one thing I love is having an arc for a character. I love being able to see a character go through something and to learn.

I've never thought of myself as a great beauty -- just a great magician.
