[Warren Beatty] definitely sees 'Rules' as a comedic consequence to the American sexual puritanism that is dramatically presented in 'Splendor.'

I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.

I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.

Basically, Beautiful Creatures was the first lead that I had since Tetro, and it was a lesson in seeing what it's like to film a movie that's of a much bigger scale. It was a good initiation.

The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.

For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.

You get bummed out, and then you go, "Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself." That kind of helps.

I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation; it's a calling.

I buy myself a present whenever I don't get a role that I really wanted.

The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.

While sitting in the darkness in complete silence, I never realized how much there was to see and hear. There is sight and sound in darkness and silence. Learn to look and listen.

I never took a position we were going to be a good ball club. I took the position we were going to be a winning ball club.

I studied anthropology and art history, as I have always been captivated by living traditions.

I think, actually, that rock and roll is a misconception. It should no longer be a term for music.

I wish to believe in immortality-I wish to live with you forever.

We wake up one day and find we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days.

You can start your day over at any time.

I think the future also will not belong to those who are cynical or those who stand on the sidelines

My focus is not on solving nature's deeper mysteries. It is on using nature's deeper mysteries to solve important societal problems.

Compared to the coward that never made the attempt, he is a hero.
