You shouldn't need 60 full minutes to create a portrait that an audience doesn't forget. You should be able to make an impression that's lasting and resonant with one scene.

You can always find contradictions and hope, in hopeless circumstances, and a sense of redemption in somebody who makes the same mistake, over and over. So far, so good. That's how I put it.

I've just always been a fan of really fringy, outsider things, and I've always been a balloon in the wind, in terms of where that takes me.

I'm not a guy who likes cliches. I don't think that stereotypes and cliches are the end of the line, when it comes to a performance.

Every angle that I looked at was somebody who I admired and was better than me. So it made me very afraid.

I think it's hilarious when middle-aged white men try to take themselves seriously. It makes me laugh.

In my experience, it tends to be a real reflection of someone's intelligence, confidence and sensitivity when they can just be real.

The idea of a regular-looking guy who is the lead of something - whether it's a movie or a show - is something that I really hope I can grow towards.

The hardest thing in the world to play is something close to myself.

I love any challenge that comes my way, and I've been lucky to have many.

I'm not one of those actors who sits around the table and intellectualizing anything, or discusses much of anything. Everything for me is intuitive and instinctive.

It is a time for soul-searching, a time to see if our anchor holds.

He who prays and labours lifts his heart to God with his hands.

I don't exercise. I'm skinny-fat. I worry about being too skinny.

Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.

The characters Im most emotionally involved with are like friends you leave behind when you move away. You dont see them regularly anymore, but you still love them and keep in touch.

Repetition makes us feel secure and variation makes us feel free.

Effective management always means asking the right question.

The very purpose of a knight is to fight on behalf of a lady.

I desire the love of God not because I am worthy, but because I am unworthy.

The game of keeping what one has is never so exciting as the game of getting.
