I just want to make one really good movie a year. And when I die, to know I was honest as an artist.

Everybody needs to go to Mongolia just to see what it is to be a human being again.

There are many times where even I, at certain points in the evening, after a few drinks, can't pronounce my own surname.

Rather than go to the gym, I would prefer to do martial arts because the time goes by quicker

When I think about myself at 15, I can't relate to myself at all. I thought I knew everything.

Bringing all 45 members of my crazy family together, and watching them argue is super awesome. It's good to do it just once a year.

At the end of it all, it's my little movie library, and you see aspects of me through that.

I started super young, but when I think about myself at that age - what I thought I knew, and how priggish I was, how certain of things - now I realize that nothing is certain.

I've been really into boyfriend blazers, I like mixing tweeds with floral fabrics. The masculine and feminine look.

Scratch a Russian, and you'll find a peasant.

I love the training, learning the stunts, doing them. I love feeling that power - doing things you could never actually do in life - like flying and doing backflips in the air!

May you find the courage to dare great things.

That's what is was to be young — to be enthusiastic rather than envious about the good work other people could do.

Indeed, there are Islamic terrorist training camps in America

But how difficult it can be to gain the desired full point against an opponent of inferior strength, when this is demanded by the tournament position!

What I do isn't black music, it's just my music.

Love is too pure a light to burn long among the noisome gases that we breathe, but before it is choked out we may use it as a torch to ignite the cozy fire of affection.

I've lived in Egypt among Christians and Muslims, and we never had a conflict. Now you have a conflict between Christians and Muslims and Baha'is and Sunni and Shia.

Walking is easiest, you don't need a lot of apparatus. Just shoe leather and good feet.

That's always good when you can bring out two sets of fans and supporters and then kinda cross them in between.

I have always loved Waffle House. It's been like an oasis in the desert many times late at night after one of my concerts.
