If I had criteria, it would just be that I want to play active people who can solve problems, not people who have things thrust in their lap and need somebody to solve their problems for them.

I'm not a runner, and I always dreamed about just throwing on my sneakers and really knocking everyone's socks off with my joy of traversing the world by foot.

I wear a lot of boyish stuff, but I prefer to throw a fur coat on top just for the hell of it.

The first two or three movies I did, I'd be around famous co-stars and totally pretend like I didn't care, but inside, I was shaking. I've been weaning myself off that.

I'm probably less volatile and tempestuous than a lot of Aries, but I think I'm probably quite loud and outgoing and passionate. Maybe a bit difficult or stubborn.

If you truly own who you are, no one can use you against you.

You leave the phone on beside you as you fall asleep. I sit in my bed and listen to your breathing, until I know you are safe, until I know you no longer need me for the night.

A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

I don't say anything and I feel awful. I tell somebody and I feel worse. I'm having trouble finding a middle ground.

You have within you all the power you need with which to get whatever you want or need in this world.
