Video games and computers have become babysitters for kids.

A good old rodeo never hurt anyone.

People hate cardio. I hate cardio. But pick the five top songs that you love. Do your cardio during these songs, and you're done. I'd say 95 percent of the time you don't even know you just did it.

I would do 'John Carter' again tomorrow. I'm very proud of 'John Carter.' Box office doesn't validate me as a person, or as an actor.

I've always been intimidated by the technicalities of taking photos, especially with a film camera - not just a point and shoot.

I had someone very close to me say to me that hopefully I’ll have many more ups and downs, not in just my career but in life. If you don’t have that, you’re not taking enough risks.

I admire an actor that can do a lot with doing nothing really, for the most part. I like doing a lot by doing so little.

I don't do the L.A. scene. I stay focused and very myopic. I don't feel I need to prove myself or be in people's faces, especially in this town.

An original pebble is better than a counterfeit diamond.

What we are about to have here is a holy water smack down!

Please do not understand me too quickly.

Love is so painful, how could you ever wish it on anybody? And love is so essential, how could you ever stand in its way?

The balancing act is challenging at times.

I'd love to find a small movie that someone would sign off on me to do. I have no aspirations to do a big studio film because I don't think anyone would let me.

Spiritual healing occurs as we begin to consciously reconnect with our essential being - the wise, loving, powerful, creative entity that we are at our core.

I clearly understood the concept of wise use before I ever heard the actual words, for my father wouldn't allow us to waste anything.
