“I want to do good work. I want the opportunity to work with good people, and the only way I’m gonna do that is to commit 110% – you get out what you put in.”

Well, it’s embarrassing to be a star.

It’s the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.

I seek the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.

Being misunderstood is not a bad thing as an actor. I know the truth.

In everyday life, my wife is the most wonderful. We’re in love with each other beyond belief.

I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It’s wonderful, isn’t it?

It was a great honor to be called a mo-fo by Sam Jackson.

People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man I’m flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed, but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting.

I don’t personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.

If you’re doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.

All of the muscles were gone, so that was a real tough time of rebuilding all of that. But you have a deadline, you have an obligation. You’ve said that you will commit to this part, and I just can’t live with myself for not really giving it as much as I can.

I’ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I’m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don’t want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that.

It’s very easy to leave when things go wrong, but to stick around and to basically give life to a town because of everything that it gave you generation after generation after generation, that to me is what defines a true American.

I always leave that for other people to decide, because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people’s favorite movies. And that’s what I like so much, is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.

Sometimes the truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people have got to have their faith rewarded.

I have a fear of being boring.

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.

Leadership takes work. It takes time and energy. The effects are not always easily measured and they are not always immediate. Leadership is always a commitment to human beings.

The biggest little thing for entrepreneurs is the lifelong commitment to education.

Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

Look and see which way the wind blows before you commit yourself.

There’s that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?

If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don’t think there’s anything that could stop me becoming President of the United States.

If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness
