I don't represent myself as a star, but an actor who wants to make movies.

I watched Gene Kelly for his smile, for his energy. Vittorio Gassman for his movement. Clark Gable for his mustache. And I watched Lassie who was happy as a dog.

I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.

I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.

I don't care about my image.

I like simple things. I like being in my family in the South and playing petanque.

I watched a lot of Douglas Fairbanks movies. He always played the same role with a mustache. Zorro had a mustache. The Musketeer had a mustache. Tarzan had a mustache.

I like the hot-cold, the sugar-salt, being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life, I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.

In many cases for an actor it's a comfortable position to be in. But it's harder to fail as a director.

I don't want everyone to like me, and I don't choose who likes me. You have to give them the choice, give them the option.

I want to work with a director who becomes my brother, my father, for two months. You give yourself over to that person.

You can hear my dreams? God, you must never get any quiet. I'd be shooting myself in the head if I were you.

When God opens a new page in your life, make photocopies of it, read it and share it with other people. Some may hear it when you read it, others may tear it when you share it.

Leadership is the catalytic gift that energizes, directs, and empowers all the other gifts.

For a player to be good enough to play for Liverpool, he must be prepared to run through a brick wall for me then come out fighting on the other side.

I look to challenge myself with a character that's not like myself or anything I've done before, but I certainly don't reject roles based on how often I've done them.

Jessica Lange is a sweetheart, the nicest lady in the world. She has a Poodle named Jack.

Calmness is great advantage; he that lets Another chafe, may warm him at his fire.

It is the duty of the Umpire to determine all questions submitted to him according to these laws, when they apply, and according to his best judgment when they do not apply.

If Jesus heals instantly, praise Him. If Jesus heals gradually, trust Him. When Jesus heals ultimately, you will understand.

Daniel, my big brother, is eight years older. I'm lucky he didn't mind hanging out with his little sister and my younger brother.
