I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon

I was a slightly melancholy child and I think films were a way of escaping for me.

Everybody, at some point in their life, has fallen down and not felt like getting back up, but you have to, no matter how difficult it is.

It's generally more fun playing the villain

I'm usually the guy who knocks everyone out in order to get the girl.

I mean I’m 16 and 17 years wiser now. So if I could do it when I was 18 with a guy, I can certainly do it at 33 with a lady.

I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.

So I try not to do press and if you can keep the balance of keeping a certain degree of anonymity and do interesting work then you can hope for a degree of career longevity

I think the work is always going to be much better when it's important and personal to you.

I think we can affect our own fates, but there's also a powerful energy that's the universe or God or whatever your unconscious recognizes that helps along your way.

I have too many control issues, so it just is not good for me to go and watch a film, too soon after I make it.

Little beat big When Little smart. First with the head, then with the heart.

Most of us have no real loves and no real hatreds. Blessed is love less blessed is hatred but thrice accursed is that indifference which is neither one nor the other.

If the time comes and your dream doesn't seem worth it, then maybe it was the wrong dream.

May my legend prosper and thrive. I wish it a long and happy life.

Negativity is born in the gap where love has been excluded.

When it comes to security, when it comes to ISIS, when it comes to the military, every single category I'm leading, like, by a lot.

I am a plain man, and I care and know comparatively little about rhetoric.

being homosexual doesn't determine a man's whole character any more than being heterosexual does.

I think that my parents' only regret is that they wasted so much money on my stupid prestigious university degree.

If we do overcome linear time, I would hope this means dwelling more directly in the fertility of the imagination rather than denying it, as some aspects of Buddhism seem to.
