The whole vanity aspect of building up different muscles - I have no interest.

Atlanta is an incredibly cool city.

I'm like a magpie. I use lots of different things to build a character.

I like to think that I've got determination, and I'm fiercely protective of the people I love.

I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.

I would find myself getting deeply distressed if I lived in hindsight all the time.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some saint, because I'm not.

When you are an actor every day kind of morphs into one as there is no set structure to my job.

I think my wife has always been aware, whatever country we have been in, of my dramatic leading man status; a little too dramatic she would probably say.

I don't feel that fear is a good incentive on a film set.

I take the fan response very seriously and respond personally to my fan mail.

That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.

Loss makes the soul sick

Many times in life, those who do the most correcting, need the most correcting.

I am the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul.

God forbids suicide, and is unwilling that his creatures should destroy themselves.

When God picks out a man and speaks to him, it is to engage him in a work, an action. Nowhere in Scripture do we find indeterminate or purely mystical vocation.

It is my firm belief that the infinite and uncontrollable fury of nuclear weapons should never be held in the hands of any mere mortal ever again, for any reason.

As anyone who has been close to someone that has committed suicide knows, there is no other pain like that felt after the incident.

For, so long as there are interesting books to read, it seems to me that neither I nor anyone else, for that matter, need be unhappy.

It ain't easy being cheesy!
