I personally think if something's not a challenge there's no point doing it because you're not gonna learn much.

I don't know if anyone will ever sit beside me on a plane again.

My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.

I like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.

I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.

I will always love film, the romance of film, sitting in the darkened room with strangers and watching a story for two hours - that will always remain and never be eroded by television.

I was obsessed with Batman as a kid. I did the film in part just to be near the Batmobile. But I also think [director] Christopher Nolan made a very fine, intelligent film.

You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.

I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.

And once you're unafraid with death, I think your capacity for violence is immediately increased. Once you're unafraid of death, you are a very, very dangerous adversary

Just live as simply you are.Don't take a burden too much.

There is no stronger or weaker…. You’re strong in the moment when you go right to the end for the cause you are defending.

Leave life alone. Let it be.

A friendship that exacts oneness of opinion and conduct is not worth much.

In some sense, gravity does not exist; what moves the planets and the stars is the distortion of space and time.

You only fail if you don't finish the game. If you finish you win. You have to measure what you started out with by what you overcome.

I enjoy seeing people have fun.

Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.

Before a cat will condescend to treat you as a trusted friend, some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream.
