“I think cinema is better today that you can be more daring with what you do. If you do it well. With that comes a responsibility not to bore people with vulgarity and all that stuff. To know how to do it right, know how to lay it out there.”

We actors don’t travel as tourists with a camera, we really get to enter the life of a place and get to know it.

Especially in the theater, which is where I came from. And I may go back to soon, as a matter of fact. To Broadway.

I love awards, especially if I get them.

You achieve because you’re lucky to work with people who are very talented.

I hate just showing up, hitting a mark, doing your work, and going home. It’s very boring. But being part of the creation of the whole thing is very exciting.

I love awards, especially if I get them. It’s up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You’re either courageous or not. You have to find a way.

You can do more of independent films. A Hollywood picture, you’ll do one a year, one of those big blockbusters, right? Then you’ve gotta go to the gym to get in shape to do all of the running and shooting and diving and falling and hitting and all that stuff they do today.

Maybe for others it was difficult to find a role that suited my type. But I never thought of myself as a type. I really thought I could play anything, quite frankly. And I have.

some actors seek parts similar to their personalities. But, I prefer undergoing a metamorphosis that depends on the role .

One of the pleasures of being an actor is that it takes you places you wouldn’t ordinarily go, and you don’t enter as a tourist, you really enter the life of the place.

It is the responsibility of every Christ-centred follower to carve out a satisfying life under the loving rule of God or else sin will start to look good.

The situation with Tibet has to change.

Love can only exist where freedom and responsibility are operating.

That has to collapse. It’s the responsibility of heads of business who are going to do business in China to lay down the law.

Things don’t change in a marriage until the spouse who is taking responsibility for a problem that is not hers decides to say or do something about it.

You know, it’s the best job I’ve ever had, on its worst day it’s better than anything else, but it’s a huge amount of responsibility

And there has to be a far stronger mechanism for being able to track down people, have overstayed their visas, to have a responsibility for who they’re coming to visit or stay with.

Everybody has a responsibility for what they put out into the world.
