“Okay, using the dreaded middle name is not the best way to forge a bond.”

It helps if you don’t date other actors, but actresses are beautiful. How can you say no?

I try to make all of my roles likeable in some way.

I don’t know anyone who’s going to see Grind 22 times in the theater. My mom. Some kid who has short-term memory loss and forgot that he’s seen it.

I’ve had to fight for roles and I’ve lost a hundred roles, but ‘Smoking’ and ‘Smith’ were phone calls. That’s the dream.

I always knew I was going to die in space.

I love movie-making. I’m interested in writing and directing, and I’ve dabbled, but I haven’t done anything I care to brag about. Yet.

I’m a fake intellectual.

I feel like Hollywood is a big high school again. Seriously, Ashton Kutcher is the prom king.

I always enjoyed movies and in hindsight I realise how captivating they were to me.

I like an interesting movie even if it’s controversial or offensive, depending on your taste.

I just want to be in good things that I want to see, and I want to work with talented people who are smarter than myself.

There’s no conversation more boring than talking about what it’s really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don’t care.

If I don’t direct a movie at some point, I’ve failed personally.

It’s bad writing, however naturalistic it’s written, that’s where you have to do your best acting.

My best jokes are so cheap. All I do is say things sarcastically.

I worry that I can come off smarmy. I wonder if I was listening to myself if I’d want to kick my own ass.

Where the sky begins, the horizon ends, despite the best intentions.

Don’t do your best, do whatever it takes.

Negotiating means getting the best of your opponent.

Life is a great and noble calling, not a mean and grovelling thing to be shuffled through as best as we can but a lofty and exalted destiny.

It is not the first time that men sell their birth right for a dish of lentils, and thus disown (or repudiate or deny) the best of thmeselves.

I surround myself with strong willed, courageous personalities, because I’ve got to be coached by the best.

I acknowledge my beauty and my flaws, I do my best to keep it one hundred with the woman in the mirror so making friends is actually easy.

Either black people end up being the best in sports, or else it’s show business. You know, we all got rhythm.
