“It’s not everyday you get to do a pirate movie, you might as well go for it.”

You bring yourself to every role, it doesn’t matter who it is, it doesn’t matter if it’s a mass murderer, you can bring something to it.

I like to do the pictures before people get too self-conscious. I like to be spontaneous and get a shot before the subject thinks too much about it.

It’s very rare to get a film script that has good dialogue. A lot of the time, you spend on film sets really fighting to find out how to say the words.

I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters.

Empathy is the main thing, putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes and trying not to judge.

You have to learn the rules to be able to know how to break them.

I would be extremely stupid if I said that my looks had absolutely nothing to do with what I do, it [moviemaking] is a visual medium. I’m perfectly aware of that, the face and the body help. Of course they do.

I see the world through my eyes. It’s sometimes a strange world.

I’ve always gravitated towards people who are extreme. Whether its drugs, or kicking down doors. Normally, the people in my life had to escape to get back.

I think it doesn’t matter where you’re from, we all need a bit of romance.

I don’t quite understand what Tolstoy’s actual personal view of Anna is – whether he likes her or hates her, whether she’s the heroine or the antiheroine.

The most important thing in playing any character is not judging.

Be happy in your body. It’s the only one you’ve got, so you might as well like it.

The whole point for me is to change as much as possible. If I’ve done one movie, I’ve done that, move on.

I wish I was Sienna Miller. When I talk to her, I hope a bit of her party personality will rub off on me, but it never does.

I think everybody has the right to a private life.

You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.

I’ll have the chance to do a production number on A Capitol Fourth.

Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors because he takes chances.

On the stage you get the chance to do all that, to analyze and build a part, to react, to contribute something no one else can-not the author, not even the director.

The unexpected cannot guarantee success, but it guarantees the best chance of success.

I got a chance to work with Mel Brooks on two of his films: Silent Movie and High Anxiety.

Kill them, turn back time to the moment before I had talked so that I could have another chance to save myself.

I loved you long before you loved me. It’s the only thing i have you beat at, and i’ll bring it up every chance i get.
