I wouldn't change a thing in my life, even if I could. What you go through makes you who you are and that's fine.

There is something about silence and being in the middle of nowhere that is really very attractive.

As a man, there's a part of me that feels I should still be going out and doing a proper day's work.

Almost all politicians drive me insane. These people are supposed to be looking after us. What I hate is that we don't speak up enough as a nation and take on the government.

If you want to get on in life get off your arse because it ain't going to come to you. And if it does come to you and you're not off your arse then you ain't going to keep it very long.

Well, for me, my favourite 'Indiana Jones' is 'The Last Crusade,' because you get tears in your eyes when you see the old guard standing at the end, so that's my favourite one.

You do a job like mine because you love the job, not because it's going to make you famous.

I'm away so much I've had to learn to cook, and I find it relaxing after filming. I make stews and liver and bacon, and an Italian mate taught me how to make a mean puttanesca sauce.

The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith justice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.

Assassination has never changed the history of the world.

To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence.

It's multifaceted, the message to our music. It's not just that. It's about individuality, development of self, finding things in life that you can be passionate about.

Failure is not an option, so why talk about it?

Turn away from your animal kind, try to leave your body, just to live in your mind.

It's only the body that's gone. Only the body. There's a part that doesn't go in the ground, a part that stays inside you forever.
