As a young man I prayed for success. Now I just pray to be worthy of it.
I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for.
I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that's the basis of Greek mythology.
To swing or not to swing? Swing.
Maybe my caveman ancestors invented the wheel or something. I'm not sure.
You should do everything as if it's the last time you might ever do it. Because, you know, it may be.
Careers go in cycles. I've plateau-ed. I've been at the bottom of the ocean... You win some, you lose some.
Most people go, I wish for world peace. But chaos has a place in balancing out the light and the dark in the world. I don't know if I would wish for world peace.
Embrace your dorkdom or rail against it. The choice is yours.
Of course I was a dork, but that's OK. Because all the coolest people I know were dorks.
I think you have to show homage to creators.
I believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray just to be worthy of it.
They had a hard time miking me in my loin cloth, I mean, where were they gonna tape it?
The other day, when my 4-year-old saw a flowering tree and said, "Daddy, it's raining petals," that was poetry that just melted my heart into a mushy, yummy Fudgsicle.
In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass.
I wish I could go home. I've been on the road since May. I wonder if my dogs still remember me
You can't see any movie nowadays really without it having some sort of CGI treatment, albeit whether it's a creature or an environment, something like that. To make a point, sort of poetically in that case, but clearly it was a drama and how do you approach it? Well, I think what you're supposed to do is what the text dictates. What you bring to it and everything you need to know should be there, and pay attention to your director.
Horrible things happen, but were they horrible? No, they were just circumstances of the world.
I wish the rock 'n' roll scene to be back in.
I mean, it was a mummy movie. It was a good film independent of its source. It that looks like Lawrence of Arabia on steroids in a lot of ways.
All you have to do is just believe in what's there; then, the audience will, too.
I would act whether or not I was paid. I would be involved in ensemble groups. I would have the desire to tell stories.
What if Shakespeare had had a test audience for Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet?
The test audience holds a great deal of power in the process of filmmaking in the United States.
I'm starting to judge success by the time I have for myself, the time I spend with family and friends. My priorities aren't amending; they're shifting.
