“Never agree to say or do anything that isn’t you.”

I don’t really see the point in making a film unless you can think of a good reason to do it.

When you’re doing a film, people are always telling you exactly what to do. Literally, your own decisions are taken away from you.

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors in the history of ever.

I want to take advantage of any popularity I have.

I didn’t have any pets growing up.

I am comfortable playing the fool, I think.

I swim a lot. I swim most days.

I’m not really an animal person.

I actually went to university.

I can’t run. I start getting twinges. If I were filmed running, it would be awful.

I would like to work with whoever would like to have me.

Maybe Oliver Stone doesn’t lend himself well to remakes or sequels, because he does them so well the first time.

We live in a youth-obsessed, aesthetically obsessed culture. That is no more evident than in the film industry.

I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours, but he survived the whole war.

I’m probably a little too uninhibited.

I love music, and I love singing.

If you would test the character of anything, you only need to enquire whether that thing leads you to God or away from God.

There is nothing small about our God, and when we understand God we will find out that there ought not to be anything small about us.

I’m passionate about anything I align myself with. You want to talk about chocolate chip cookies? I’m not going to open a chocolate chip cookie store, but I will talk your ear off about it.

If I could pass along anything that my mother or my sisters taught me, I feel like my kids would be very well off.

I was raised in a really terrific, close family, and I’ve never needed to escape anything or to really let myself go by dancing on tables.

I don’t Twitter. I don’t text for those very reasons. I don’t want anything to be misinterpreted. I would encourage our guys not to do that.

If anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film.

I never liked jazz or anything else. Early rock n’ roll – that was music to me. Everything else was boring.
