I've got to be active in life, and it's the same when I'm doing stunts in a movie: I'll do anything.

I love the idea of going to work and having to fight and learn a new skill set, whether it's muay Thai or Kali or Filipino stick fighting. To me, it's like college for life.

I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place.

I like to stay busy, I like to stay focused, and I like to stay creative. Without being creative I'd be dead.

Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it's my life.

I have a bad sweet tooth. I'm pretty good when I have to eat well for work, but otherwise, I could eat a whole roll of raw cookie dough.

I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money.

I'm not very good at taking compliments. It's better than getting slapped in the face, I suppose.

I want to be a good human being.

In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.

I lived by the candlelight for two years because I couldn't afford power. It was nice and romantic at the time, but if you can't afford power you're pretty broke. You endure it.

One can only wonder what the motivation is for Mauna Kea astronomers to subject their nighttime support staff to extremely long and fatiguing night shifts when they are easily avoidable.

I, myself, love complications and mystery which I didn't notice that I had become one.

I am a product of nepotism. I don't think I would have had the profession that I'm in currently... if it wasn't for my dad.

The monument of a great man is not of granite or marble or bronze. It consists of his goodness, his deeds, his love and his compassion.

I am not one of those who left the land to the mercy of its enemies. Their flattery leaves me cold, my songs are not for them to praise.

It still remains true that no justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous.

I think there is a metaphysical problem of the relation between mind and body. Thinking that there is no metaphysical dimension to the problem is an error.

At my age I'm exactly the kind of person who has lived through one of the most quickly changing periods known to history. Surely there could never be in seventy years so much change.

Writing, for me, is always a dance between the critical part of my brain and the subconscious.

I don't think any of us are normal people.
