I've turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.

I play Xbox. I have a little boy to look after. I have dogs. You know I have things to do. I would love to be able to sit down and watch something like a movie. I watch my own movies because I have to.

I'm trying to figure myself out through my movies. Whether it's big stuff like what we're doing here or little stuff like 'Why aren't I happier?' With every film I feel like I'm apologising for something. I feel I'm most successful when I'm looking for something that embarrasses me about my character that I'd like to expose.

The best movies have one sentence that they're exploring a thesis something that people can argue about over dinner afterward.

I always leave that for other people to decide because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people's favorite movies. And that's what I like so much is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.

I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.

Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.

I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it. But you look at the project and think 'Gee there are a lot of good directors who could do that.' I'd like to do something only I can do.

I have realized that I hate going to the premieres of the movies that I'm in. Because I feel this tension after the movie is over that everyone feels obligated to say something nice to you. It's so unnatural and uncomfortable.

Even the worst Bond movies there's something to love about them.

Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way.

I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.

If my films don't show a profit I know I'm doing something right.

The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something but to be something.

Always desire to learn something useful.

When I was twelve I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature who was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning.

At the end of the day I don't need to work and I think it's good that I have the drive and willpower to get up and do something in the morning even though I don't need to.

Well you know what? The actor still gets up in the morning if he's still got something to work with you go out there and you do it. Never quit!

I think I turned to writing really just to wake up in the morning and be a musician and to have something to do and feel like a musician every day even if I wasn't working.

It was not enough to come and listen to a great sermon or message every Sunday morning and be confined to those four walls and those four corners. You had to get out and do something.

What is different is I am giving the kids a chance to train every day. Not only once a day but sometimes when they do not have school we will try to do something in the morning too.

It says something about this new global economy that USA Today now reports every morning on the day's events in Asian markets.

I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid so yes I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age... with all that experience how can it be that on a Monday morning you are useless?
