I try to stay away from the L.A. scene as much as possible. I feel it helps me to better prepare for my roles if I am not too involved in that whole thing.

A long time ago, in a country not so far away, I was eight years old, doing my best Darth Vader imitation.

Everyone has their own approach to how they work.

Ewan McGregor and I had very similar first-time light sabre experiences. We both burned ourselves! These things are hot - they're full of batteries!

I don't see how you can give someone who lied to the extent that he did a second chance in the same line of work.

I don't think things like trust should just be handed out. You have to earn that.

I've always been kind of a hermit.

I wish they taught green screen acting classes.

I love my mother Ali so much. I'm a momma's boy. I just have a very cool mom. It's not as though I had any say in the matter. I'm just really fortunate. She's the most kind, loving, giving woman.

The good parent: someone who doesn't mind, for a time, being hated by their children.

Some of these agendas wanted me to quit, very simply, so they said "we have all the guarantees if you want to leave, and all the money and everything you want." Of course, you just ignore that.

Federal program and services outlay in Puerto Rico is approximately $10 billion per year.

The most beautiful as well as the most ugly inclinations of man are not part of a fixed biologically given human nature, but result from the social process which creates man.

I'm not really a model.

Economics is a slave-driver. No one has free time; no one has any leisure.

If there's cheesecake in the house, I'll have some.

Endeavour-with most diligent labour, O aspiring artist!-to master content. The form will rise to meet you.

I have toured around for 45 years and have experience of night halt at more than 400 districts. And that's why I know the reality of this earth.
