To be in a video is a ridiculous thing. It's almost impossible to do it without any humour

I'm just terrible. At talking. With words.

Why have a pet hate? Why should it be confined? My hate is both wide ranging and total.

I'm not a terribly social person, and so I have to really like people to work with them.

I think people have the capacity to be many different things and many seemingly contradictory behaviors.

No. I really don't think I'm cool. I'm not.

As in, I think 'Badlands' is one of the funniest films of all time: "Every day I wish I was carried off to a magical land, but that never happened" is one of the funniest lines in any film.

I only ever privately tell people stuff for the scene. And I often ask what they feel is right. Normally, by the time that we're filming, if it doesn't work, it always the script.

I've always felt that actors in my experience have a very good and accurate instinct about whether something feels right or not. They just have a sense because they have to literally do it.

I'm pretty bad at seeing new films.

The most interesting part of filming is what the actors do. That's the primary link between the story and the audience.

There are three things that stop people from becoming their best, "fear" "anger" and "greed." The antidote to fear is action, the cure for anger is gratitude and the medicine to greed is love.

My lifetime is my existence in a sacred moment.

Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it's probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it.

In the end, robots do things that people can do. So there is a cost above which you can hire somebody to do it, and that bounds the opportunity.

Soon someone would say the fatal words, "Well, I think it’s time for me to go to bed.

Happiness is like the weather. Sometimes it’s rainy, sometimes it’s sunny, and you gotta just go through and accept what’s there in front of you.

Well, at least I’m not a stubborn, button-pushing, Prius-driving, chip-on-your-shoulder-holding, ‘stay-at-home-mom’-is-the-eighth-dirty-word-thinking feminazi!

The greatest works of admiration, And all the fair examples of renown. Out of distress and misery are grown.

What need is there to say more? The childish work for their own benefit, The Buddhas work for the benefit of others. Just look at the difference between them.

Actually, I was born Adam Zachary Orth. Zak is short for my middle name. I was never called Adam.
