“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.”

Whatever you do, do it completely. Don’t do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.

The only thing that I’m obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.

The only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn’t do it. I think I’d be terrible.

I find what I do for a living really funny. I mean, acting is kind of a hilarious thing for a grown man to call a job.

Putting on weight is easy all the way through. But after the first couple of weeks, the novelty wears off very quickly, and your body is groaning and starting to really shout at you, saying, ‘Why? Why? Why? Why are you doing this?’

No, only disappointment in myself on those occasions I didn’t manage to rise to the occasion as I felt I should’ve done. I can always see how to do it, and then the challenge is, Can I manage that each and every day?

I become a bit of a blank page in public. And that’s precisely why I like acting.

We were incredibly fortunate to get to make three Batman films. That’s enough. Let’s not get greedy. It’s a torch that should be handed from one actor to another. So I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with.

I like being responsible for myself.

I’ll find myself having dinner with people and someone will mention something and I will say I was in that situation once. Then I’ll say, forget it, it was a scene I was in. That can get to be quite confusing.

Well, it’s embarrassing to be a star.

It’s the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.

I seek the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.

Being misunderstood is not a bad thing as an actor. I know the truth.

In everyday life, my wife is the most wonderful. We’re in love with each other beyond belief.

I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It’s wonderful, isn’t it?

Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.

Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.

My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.

Basketball isn’t easy. All my life I’ve been striving to make myself better. It’s a full time commitment.

A change is brought about because ordinary people do extraordinary things.

Writing a check separates a commitment from a conversation.

We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves; that is our only commitment to others.

Most important of all, to be successful in life demands that a man make a personal commitment to excellence and to victory, even though the ultimate victory can never be completely won.
