As I continue through my acting career I tend to wish I were a little shorter and a few pounds lighter so casting directors would call me in for more diverse roles.

I love being a human being, my time and experience here has become even more treasured since I turned to acting.

Love is photogenic, it develops in the dark.

Hope-that unshakable golden belief that things can get better- is why I'm here talking to you now. Without it, we are nothing.

Every category has its snobs: music, books, movies. There are so many things a man is only pressured into liking or disliking.

No sociologist should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time.

I feel I can still do the same job as I did 10 years ago - I've just got a few more wrinkles!

I'm a character-driven director, and I tend to fall in love with the characters in my movies and TV shows.

Or maybe it's not a miracle. Maybe this is just life. When you open yourself up to it. When you put yourself in the path of it. When you say yes.

Does not every true man feel that he is himself made higher by doing reverence to what is really above him?
