When you work for the Coens, they are so fun and so organized. They treat everyone with such respect. And the character I got to play was so fun.

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.

So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.

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.

When stress is the problem, slack is the solution.

To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.

You are always free to choose what you do first, what you do second, and what you do not do at all

For, if we have not charity, we are not Christians: charity is the great duty of Christians.

Based on my own experiences, I made sure, and I'm proud of this, that the Common Core curriculum is hard on plagiarizers.

If you do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. If what you are doing is not working, do something else.

I basically look at PR as something you do if there's an object in mind. But my ego doesn't need it.

Your limits are liars, you fears are thieves.

The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.

Grieve only if you have committed a sin, but even in this case do not grieve too much, otherwise you may become desperate.
