Every time I do a movie, I think it's going to be a huge hit.

My limits are limitless. I find my limits every time I act.

I don't want to expose the intricacies of my work so people can understand how I did it.

That's what I always enjoyed about acting, the real adrenalin rush. My heart - still before I go on stage - crashing out of my chest. That's thrilling to me.

I wish I had more of the hero gene, but I don't think I'd be very good at playing one.

From here on out, I am only interested in what is real. Real people, real feelings, that's it. That's all I'm interested in.

Could I please amend that suggestion? Could you not be there in the second darkest shadow one hour before midnight, to see who steps into the darkest shadow?

Never rank, rate, or compare coaches, children, concerts, or championships or congratulations. Just enjoy them all.

We want to change the way we help unemployed people find jobs. We want to be faster and more goal oriented.

Music is all about training in harmony, training to understand and use musical energy for our greater pleasure by attuning to the natural laws of the universe.

You've got to make choices that make sense for you because there's always going to be somebody who'll think you should do something differently.

My family has schoolteachers and librarians, and I think people who teach are probably some of our greatest American heroes. Certainly, underpaid and unsung.

Capitalism denies the right to live. You have only the right to remain on the labour market.

A book is solitude, privacy; it is a way of holding the self apart from the crush of the outer world.
