I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.

I always kept myself fairly fit.

Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.

The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.

I often times find with movies that the heavier the onscreen situation is, the more levity there is off screen. It's almost out of necessity.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.

The recipe for any character is always very interesting, as far as what doses of certain qualities you want.

People like him, who buried their past so determinedly, should not help it from the grave so easily.

Ambition interests me because it’s such a surefire indicator of damage.

When people hold you in high esteem, it's very delicate relationship. When they meet you they're putting all their chips up. It's make or break.

Politics takes patience, time, listening and endless meetings.

Victory was never in doubt. Its cost was.

My biggest complaint about customer service is that I am put on hold too long.

Leaders are defined by the decisions they make ... Leaders rise and fall by the decisions they make.

Once you can understand where the conversation is, who leads, the type of voices and the best place for you to add your voice, you can then start becoming a more active participant.

Fear not! Stand your ground... the Lord himself will fight for you; you have only to keep still.

I would appoint judges that interpreted the Constitution rather than invented it, understood the difference between being a judge and being a legislator.
