I started as a director, but I was too bored with actors. I preferred to act.

If you were my agent and I was making $10 million a movie and made four movies a year, that means you have a salary of $4 million.

To me, the most important thing in life is to be a human being. Second is acting.

I love to fantasize still, as I did as a little boy. If I see a movie, I want to fantasize about what it's all about.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, they make bad movie after bad movie.

There are some movies that I remember a couple of seconds and I want to carry those couple of seconds in my heart forever, or wherever it is, and that's worth it.

I dislike those people that see an opera and say "Oh, they can't act it. They just sing. It's boring." Lean back and just listen to the voices.

Never underestimate what teens can understand or do. They're smart, creative, and fresh-minded. I wish I was one.

Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.

There is an important difference between the sorrow for sin that leads to repentance and the sorrow that leads to despair.

All that is noble is in itself of a quiet nature, and appears to sleep until it is aroused and summoned forth by contrast.

Everyone grows and changes. It's not even to say that you become a better person than you were, but you're morphing. This whole thing is just a weird river that we're on.

People suddenly expected less of me and I didn't want that. Not only could I keep up with sighted kids, I could excel. I have an intense competiveness that was always in me.

Nothing is more beautiful than a line that brings out a form.

Love without limits; reverse the hate.

When I'm riding my bicycle I feel like a Buddhist who is happy just to enjoy his mundane existence

I can't be anybody but myself.
