“There are many sides to me to who I am and my personality. I think the only thing that is rebellious about me is that I don’t really have a lot of fears, as far as film industry is concerned.”

I resent having to prove that I’m not a retard.

Wonder Woman is lame. She flies around in an invisible jet, but she’s not invisible. I don’t get it.

When I was 14, I thought I was the coolest kid in school because I told everyone the jokes in FHM.

Once you let the words go, you have no control over how they’re printed or what the media does with them. So there’s no point in trying to make plans or to control it.

I like reading books that provide you with knowledge that you previously didn’t have. And books you have a chance to grow as a human being after reading them.

My biggest regret is that I’ve assisted the media in making me into a cartoon character. I don’t regret what has happened to me, but I regret the way I have dealt with it.

It’s an immense amount of pressure, celebrity itself.

I would really love to go on an archaeological dig.

Don’t let loneliness drive you back into the arms of someone who doesn’t give a damn about you.

I have to feel like I’m in control of my body.

I could go days, weeks, without talking to another human being.

And you know, the people who hate kids and don’t want kids always end up having 50 of them.

I would like to uncover the secrets of the universe.

I married my husband who is thirteen years older, so I will always be a trophy wife for him.

I haven’t gone completely insane, but it might happen soon.

I want to really stress this, I am a director, an actor, producer, action choreographer, and I’m also an investor.

The audience makes the decision of what kind of actor they want to watch. I always have said in the last 20 years, the real boss is the audience.

Method actors are like hams.

If there is something magic about the collaborations I have with actors it’s because I put the character first.

Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.

I didn’t want to be an actress; I never thought of being an actress because, as children, there were three of us – I was the middle child – and we spent our time in church from Sunday morning to Saturday night.

My parents said, Oh, he’s going to be a director someday. I wanted to be an actor.

My experience of singing, as an actor, was that there’s a different creative feeling of freedom. The acting thing is a bit more defined and cerebral. I can see why people would want to cross over. If you have so much freedom on stage then perhaps you want to be confined a bit, and vice versa.
