“If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn’t be so adored in the slightest.”

In honesty, there are probably a lot of stories that can be told with Batman. I like the idea of him growing older and he can’t quite do it as much anymore.

It’s about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along.

I only sound intelligent when there’s a good script writer around.

Working out is incredibly boring. I swear it’s true that the bigger your muscles get, the fewer brain cells you have.

It’s tough to make a good movie. I think the bigger the movies are, the worse they are. A lot of big movies make a lot of money and you kind of forget about what they are and they don’t really make you think.

You’ll hunt me. You’ll condemn me. Set the dogs on me. Because that’s what needs to happen. Because sometimes truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

But I learned that there’s a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there’s not much else that can really get to ya.

I do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that.

Nuclear apocalypse-who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.

I’d love to remain a secret and still work, but I also want people to see the movies I’m in and get a higher profile because of that. I like to think that as long as you continue choosing diverse roles, you can avoid becoming predictable.

I think it’s important when you’re acting to be as relaxed as possible even if you’re doing something intense. You’re basically in a state of dynamic relaxation.

Certainly I have no attraction to misery. I don’t intentionally go for dark.

I want to do good work. I want the opportunity to work with good people, and the only way I’m gonna do that is to commit 110% – you get out what you put in.

I find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.

What the hell kind of man decides to dress up as a bat and run around the city? There’s got to be something a little bit loose in there.

An actor should never be larger than the film he’s in.

Envy someone an’ it pulls you down. Admire them and it builds you up. Which makes more sense?

By far the greatest and most admirable form of wisdom is that needed to plan and beautify cities and human communities.

That sculpture is more admirable than painting for the reason that it contains relief and painting does not is completely false.

A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.

A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.

The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring.

There is nothing more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.

She lacks confidence, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on the reflections of herself in the eyes of others. She does not dare to be herself.
