Acting is divine dissatisfaction. It’s the greatest thing in the world to do, but you are never satisfied with it ever.

Ya know what I do almost every day? I wash. Personal hygiene is part of the package with me.

I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I’m just trying to create a good one for myself.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don’t want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

My father used to brag that I wasn’t a ham, I was the whole pig.

I just want to be myself.

I’ve arrived at the place if I’m not taking a career risk, I’m not happy. If I’m scared, then I know I’m being challenged.

150 people die every year from being hit by falling coconuts. Not to worry, drug makers are developing a vaccine.

I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment.

When Good Friday comes, these are the moments in life when we feel there’s no hope. But then, Easter comes.

I think I’ve changed a little bit. I don’t know whether it’s for the better or for the worse at the moment. I’ve settled into a different mind frame now… being a bit wilder maybe!

There is a spirit and a need and a man at the beginning of every great human advance. Every one of these must be right for that particular moment of history, or nothing happens.
