You need those people to also have power and authority, and in a way that has been the story of my career.

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 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.

I just wanna thank all those amazing Internet bloggers out there that hate me day-to-day. I love you! You rock!

There's so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.

If we just stop producing stuff, if we stop being so capitalist, we stop taking resources from other third world countries, we'll be happy.

The world is turning into a cesspool of imbeciles.

... the economic advantages of sobriety have never been doubtful.

We are a society dying, said Aunt Lydia, of too much choice.

Reason should be destroyed in all Christians.

I got a smoke alarm at home, but really it's more like a 9-volt-battery-slowly-drainer.

Our kids are going to be so angry with us one day. We've charged their future on our Visa cards.

The best style is the least noticeable.
