“You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.”

I’ve never been out with a married woman, never. I respect others’ properties.

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called ‘wisdom’… I can’t fathom my own heart.

To me, growing old is great. It’s the very best thing – considering the alternative.

There’s quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.

I was so poor for so long that I didn’t use anything. I didn’t drive cars, I didn’t eat very much. So, I figured the world owed me a debt, so I’ve been eating very well and have had a very big car for a long time. But I still haven’t caught up with my youth.

I’ve always loved reprehensible people because they’re so much more interesting to play on screen.

I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.

What a lot of people dont realize about gangs, in my opinion, is that a gang is not there to attack you. Eighty percent of the people in a gang are there to stop anyone from attacking them. You join a gang for protection, not to go out and hit someone.

At age 11, I went to a Jewish school. I speak Yiddish. I’m Church of England Protestant. My father was Catholic, and my mother was Protestant. My wife is a Muslim.

I’m looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.

About Superman and Batman: the former is how America views itself, the latter, darker character is how the rest of the world views America.

I enjoy making people laugh. The trick is to tell them jokes against yourself. If you praise yourself, your stories aren’t funny.

If you’re a movie actor, you’re on your own – you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.

The basic rule of human nature is that powerful people speak slowly and subservient people quickly – because if they don’t speak fast enough, nobody will listen to them.

When becoming a character, you have to steal. Steal whatever you see. You can even steal from other actors’ characterizations; but if you do, only steal from the best.

I usually control the environment I’m in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

Our persona was not created by accident; it was created in order to camouflage the parts of ourselves we deemed the most undesirable and to overcompensate for what we believe to be our deepest flaws. What persona are you hiding behind?

To the eye of failure success is an accident.

My existence was not random, nor was it an accident. God knew who He was creating, and He designed met for a specific work.

No birth is an accident, No experience is without meaning, and no life is without value.

It’s no accident many accuse me of conducting public affairs with my heart instead of my head. Well, what if I do?.. Those who don’t know how to weep with their whole heart don’t know how to laugh either.

The universe is too grand and harmonious to believe it’s all an accident.

The mere possession of a gun is, in itself, an urge to kill, not only by design, but by accident, by madness, by fright, by bravado.
