“But I guess I like playing flawed guys ’cause it gives a place for the characters to go.”

But I will say this: In my humble opinion, knowing nothing about it, I do believe that they have remote viewers working on where Osama Bin Laden is. I absolutely, 100%, convinced of that.

I’m always fascinated with how a person becomes a good quality person, a productive person, and how it happened to me, because I was a terror.

But then, even with sex, I’m more in the school of less is more in movies.

I love the fight game. I like the brutality. I like the mentality. I like the aggressiveness, but I like the technique and skill. I like the stakes. I like the people around in the gym. I like the everyday, working class feel of a boxing gym.

Yeah, but there’s nobody who represents romance to me like Cary Grant.

Chris [Nolan] comes at this with such a different take on Batman, so I didn’t feel that I had to be true to any other actor playing this role. Of course, I read the comic books. His relationships with Lt. Gordon and with Batman, with Gotham City, those really helped me the most.

A true measure of strength is to use your hands to incapacitate somebody.

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.

The F.B.I. is about nuts and bolts. It’s all about witnesses and procedure and walking the streets.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

I consider myself to be flawed, but I made it work. I’m not perfect. Anybody who thinks they are is whacked-out.

The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.

The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe.

They, I think, despised her remarks about the flawed 2011 elections in Russia. They feared that she would be very tough on Russia in terms of sanctions.

But it is equally incontrovertible that if our intelligence gathering process is seriously flawed, we had better find out and find out fast if we are to avoid another Sept. 11.

I am very interested in loyalty, even if the person to whom one is loyal is flawed, criminal, or otherwise in the wrong.
