You never want to be pigeonholed into something and have people think, "Oh, that's the guy we call for this particular thing."

The worst beauty advice that I have ever taken has been from people who have told me that sunscreen isn't necessary. Not true!

That being said, I am not one to feel sorry for myself. I believe it is healthy to honor one's feelings and do the best we can to learn and grow from them moving forward.

I think one of the big challenges about science fiction is finding truth to relate to as an actor.

The second time I was banned was when I directed a film called Xiu Xiu. I was banned for three years from China.

I am a huge animal lover. Growing up, my mother and I rescued countless animals - dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, even a turtle. I have been accused of caring more about animals than I do about people.

I am enjoying to a full that period of reflection which is the happiest conclusion to a life of action.

Ultimately, I want to be a good person and spread happiness through my acting. If I don't forget to be appreciative and thankful, then that would be the most important thing that I'll ever achieve.

When I decided to go to a country that subsidized music, I went to the Soviet Union for two years.

The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the night of God.

I'd rather be working for a paycheck, than waiting to win the lottery. Besides, maybe this time it's different, I mean, I really think you like me.

Jacques said that his master said that everything good or evil we encounter here below was written on high.

Watch a man at play for an hour and you can learn more about him than in talking to him for a year.
