The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.

I always kept myself fairly fit.

Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.

I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.

I often times find with movies that the heavier the onscreen situation is, the more levity there is off screen. It's almost out of necessity.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.

The recipe for any character is always very interesting, as far as what doses of certain qualities you want.

Jesus first, others next, and yourself last spells J-O-Y.

The tendency of old age to the body, say the physiologists, is to form bone. It is as rare as it is pleasant to meet with an old man whose opinions are not ossified.

To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.

I cannot go with you all the way on your journey, but I would go as far as I might

I don't even have many friends anymore because I backed away from them. When things went wrong for me I didn't want them to have any part of my trouble.

The thrill isn't in the winning, it's in the doing.

Vulgarity in a king flatters the majority of the nation.

Sleep tight, ya morons!

I can play the air guitar really, really well.

For the simplicity on this side of complexity, I wouldn't give you a fig. But for the simplicity on the other side of complexity, for that I would give you anything I have.
