You do need these people to go out on a limb for you, thinking you're right for a role rather than having box office numbers.

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.

The people had once created the city. The city now created the people, or, more exactly, the people of Venice now identified themselves more in terms of the city. The private had become public.

You will choose your path, or perhaps it will choose you.

If music wakes you up, makes you think, heals you...then, I guess the music is working.

I think every person has the ability to affect change...through our every thought our every word, the way that we interact with other people. We are constantly affecting the world.

If your hunch proves a good one, you were inspired; if it proves bad, you are guilty of yielding to thoughtless impulse.

I'm the kind of person who always wants more.

First master the fundamentals.

I do believe there is many a tear in the heart that never reaches the eyes.

It's the light of the oncoming train.

Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.
