I think you always feel like you're about a hair's breadth away from being a bad actor anyway... It's not too hard to let the rope go slack, so to speak.

I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.

I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.

Basically, Beautiful Creatures was the first lead that I had since Tetro, and it was a lesson in seeing what it's like to film a movie that's of a much bigger scale. It was a good initiation.

The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.

For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.

You get bummed out, and then you go, "Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself." That kind of helps.

I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation; it's a calling.

I buy myself a present whenever I don't get a role that I really wanted.

So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.

The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.

I guess if you go around with famous people you are assured of some reflected (or deflected) glory.

Data is a lot like humans: It is born. Matures. Gets married to other data, divorced. Gets old. One thing that it doesn't do is die. It has to be killed.

To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.

When you have somebody that's smart and you're not so smart, to me that's modern day slavery because you're being dictated to.

I don't want to do television. A TV show sitcom? I don't even watch TV.

To argue against any breach of liberty from the ill use that may be made of it, is to argue against liberty itself, since all is capable of being abused.

The movement of the emitters of the spectral lines may be deduced on the basis of the Doppler principle.

I don't consider myself to be a media guy. It just happens to be that I've had opportunities in the media. I don't consider myself to be on a career path. I'm just a Christian and a Catholic priest.

Action is what separates the do-ers from the dreamers.

Our hearts do not need logic. They can love and forgive and accept that which our minds cannot comprehend. Hearts understand in ways minds cannot.
