“My perfect weekend, anything to do with nature.”

I’m not the kind of guy who’s taking advantage of my position.

I’m one of those people that think certain things happen at certain times for all the right reasons.

It’s not about working anymore, it’s about doing work I can be proud of.

I play Hank Hansen, a real guy. Youd be amazed at how much information they have on this guy: personality traits, nicknames, favorite color, you name it.

I could take you for a walk on the beach and I could point out just about any creature and give you their Latin names.

Everyone has an opinion.

My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I’m not a big sugar guy.

You have to make smart decisions, but you never know what will happen in the future.

I’m a doer, and whether it was the tsunami in Sri Lanka or the earthquake in Indonesia, I was always saying, I should be there; I should be helping out.

I believe in fate, that films happen when they are supposed to.

I never thought I was going to be an actor. And I never really thought of myself as one. Even though I keep working. I thought I’d just do a wave of movies, and then I’d burn out. They just kept coming together.

I am going to continue to work hard, but I do not take it too seriously, I just do what feels right and I really want to have a good time.

People are often talking when they are not supposed to be.

I think my mom put it best. She said, ‘Little girls soften their daddy’s hearts.

If one day speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling.

Just real. I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want. And more importantly, I want to have the freedom to bring everyone else along with me.

Every wave is a water sprite who swims in the current, each current is a path which snakes towards my palace, and my palace is fluidly built at the bottom of the lake, in the triangle of earth, fire and water.

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

Nelson Mandela sat in a South African prison for 27 years. He was nonviolent. He negotiated his way out of jail. His honor and suffering of 27 years in a South African prison is really ultimately what brought about the freedom of South Africa. That is nonviolence.

When the mind rests into its silent nature, it realise that love don’t come and go. Love can’t die.

Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?

The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence… sort of like the Post Office with tanks.
