I started acting as a kid and doing advertising campaigns. I was probably 8 years old, and I really liked the attention.

Although I miss my family and friends when I'm away from Amsterdam, I've never had that feeling of missing a city like I have with New Orleans. Especially for the music.

When it comes to being a techie, I'm always precise about the things that I want to know. I love understanding how things work.

The great actors, like Cary Grant, and the gentlemanliness that they portray in the movies is something that I try to keep in mind.

The Age of Adaline was very special because it marks for me the first male lead on a proper Hollywood production.

The funny thing is, whenever I'm working on something, I kind of forget there's a lot of people watching. It makes it easier to be in the moment and to tell a story as well as possible.

I'm always repeating myself. You never just do a scene once, you do it an insane amount of times.

I always used to be more of a city guy, and more and more I'm starting to enjoy being in nature.

I respect motorcycles so much. They've come such a long way. It's amazing!

I think it's hard to convince an audience of some sort of chemistry if you really don't get along.

There was not an industry for child actors. I never really made any money. It was all about fun for me.

The past is gone. My life is a miracle! With gratitude to God, I am still here to remember and to tell what happened to me during the Holocaust of WWII.

You should have some time to think and that's very important.

I'm a poet. I distrust anything that starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop because people don't think in full, clear sentences.

I don't think of myself as offbeat and weird. As a kid, I saw myself as the type of guy who would run into a burning building to save the baby.

As we say in the sewer, time and tide wait for no man.

Now and then an innocent man is sent to the legislature.

Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.

I thought she'd make some comment about the bloodthirsty gods chasing us, but when she finally found her voice, she said, "That boy kissed you!" Leave it to Liz to have her priorities straight.

Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices.

People see truth in my films. That's what they react to, and that's what they relate to.
