“It’s kind of a rule of thumb for me to self-doubt going into any kind of project. I always think that I shouldn’t be doing it and I don’t know how to do it and I’m going to fail and that I fooled them. I always try to find a way out.”

I’m not a big fan of western movies and I really don’t like cowboy-indian movies. I have never watched them.

You see, in their last moments people show you who they really are.

My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I’ll be forever grateful.

I’m kind of addicted to moving.

I am not a public speaker and never will be.

I didn’t want to raise my child in Hollywood.

I’m in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood.

There’s nothing like working with your mates – it’s the way it should be, as far as I’m concerned.

I think your personal evolution runs hand in hand with your professional evolution. Performance and the person you are kind of grow simultaneously.

Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.

If you make decisions based upon people’s reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.

It’s a little uncomfortable doing love scenes in armor, but, you know, when the heat’s on, the heat’s on.

I’m born to be a father. And I’ve been looking forward to this all my life.

The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.

Don’t let anyone ever make you feel you don’t deserve what you want.

Anyone that has a job that takes them away from home, I think, can understand the difficulties in maintaining consistency, not only with your family and those you love but with your friends.

Extremism is not endemic in my region, nor is anti-Western sentiment. No doubt there is discontent and distrust. That is towards more the American and some Western policies, and not toward the American people.

To doubt is to have faith in the worst possible outcome.

I don’t prepare for my roles. I don’t watch movies to get inspired. I don’t dig deep. I’ll never be that type of actor, and I doubt that I ever will be.

{While meditating} I sit quietly and rest in the nature of mind; I don’t question or doubt whether I am in the “correct” state or not.

I’ve got to start listening to those quiet, nagging doubts.

I studied that first Karpov-Kasparov match for a year and a half before I cracked it, what they were doing, and discovered that it was all prearranged move-by-move. There’s no doubt of it in my mind.

John Kricfalusi is very talented; he used to really piss me off. But I did good work, you know? The Ren & Stimpy show without me was totally unsuccessful.

Faith keeps you going, but doubt keeps you from going off the deep end.
