I'm pretty bad at seeing new films.

I'm just terrible. At talking. With words.

Why have a pet hate? Why should it be confined? My hate is both wide ranging and total.

I'm not a terribly social person, and so I have to really like people to work with them.

I think people have the capacity to be many different things and many seemingly contradictory behaviors.

To be in a video is a ridiculous thing. It's almost impossible to do it without any humour

No. I really don't think I'm cool. I'm not.

As in, I think 'Badlands' is one of the funniest films of all time: "Every day I wish I was carried off to a magical land, but that never happened" is one of the funniest lines in any film.

I only ever privately tell people stuff for the scene. And I often ask what they feel is right. Normally, by the time that we're filming, if it doesn't work, it always the script.

I've always felt that actors in my experience have a very good and accurate instinct about whether something feels right or not. They just have a sense because they have to literally do it.

The most interesting part of filming is what the actors do. That's the primary link between the story and the audience.

Hunger of the heart is much stronger than hunger for food.

We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.

I've always said when I broke in I was an average player. I had an average arm, average speed and definitely an average bat. I am still average in all of those.

In one way, I suppose, I have been 'in denial' for some time, knowingly burning the candle at both ends and finding that it often gives a lovely light.

And it was at moments like this that she had to remind herself that she was in love with him, or had once been in love with him, a long time ago.

We thought I was going to be a great athlete, and we were wrong, and I thought I was going to be a great entertainer, and that wasn't it either. I'm going to be an American Citizen. First class.

Don't ever say anything negative about yourself.

I actually quite like promo, which is quite odd for an artist, but recording's not the easiest thing.

Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.

The animal has no intellectual capacity to justify or to find reasons to exist. An animal just exists because it's the natural thing to do.
