One time I can stand fiddling in front of the mirror for an hour and another time I think: well hack, this is just the best it can get. Only if I have to go to work I really try to look fantastic.

When you're young, you should live out every weekend. Even if you look like a scarecrow, you just gotta go!

As an actor you have one great fear: pimples!

I would like to direct in the future, but I am in no hurry with that.

I like strong girls, as long as they don't get snappish. And furthermore I think it important that you are good buddies and she does not get angry when you don't have your day.

I think that my biggest role models are people that have maybe struggled for a while and then finally gotten to their destination.

However, I hope I am also judged on my accomplishments as an actor and not just on my pretty face!

I want to direct, I want to be part of something creative, something with quality.

My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself.

I mean, I try to say the right things and give the right advice. But still, I'm only a person.

My friends would probably describe me as silly. And honest. And that I think about things a bit too much.

I'm afraid even ImpSec has no explanation for women's tastes in men.

Think what it would be like if you got back to your island and there was no old man, no girl any more. No mysterious fun and games. The whole place locked up forever.

If I had stayed with football in college, I probably would have been a first-round pick.

The ego wants to want more than it wants to have. And so the shallow satisfaction of having is always replaced by more wanting.

If you're very, very conservative and you like that sort of practice, go find a very conservative Zen master and just do traditional Japanese practice, which is not that traditional actually.

No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all.

Why do men feel threatened by women?

I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.

Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man!

The ability to plan for what has not yet happened, for a future that has only been imagined, is one of the hallmarks of leadership.
