“Remember That No Matter How Cool You Think You May Be, You Are Not Cool Enough To Look Down On Any One, Ever.”

I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want.

You know, I’m a pretty mellow guy. I’m pretty easy-going. I see everyone’s perspective.

If you play with people who are better than you, then you get better.

I have an airplane hangar with 17 cars in it. That’s no joke. I have a ‘half pipe’ in there, too – you know, like a big ramp, where I skateboard. It’s awesome. It’s the ultimate fantasy.

My philosophy is: If you can’t have fun, there’s no sense in doing it.

I like having to figure out how to pull things off, how to sell it, how to make it look real, but not just real, make it look better.

You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.

I’m extremely competitive, so when people start counting me out or trying to categorize me, I sorta get hungry.

I’m as interested in photographing the film crew as much as the actors and actresses.

What I find really difficult is making career decisions.

I feel I have lived my whole life, day to day, without planning anything and I like it that way. Things change so fast, one minute you are here, the next minute you are on a plane, it’s great fun.

I’m really close to all of my family.

I always find film-making a pleasurable experience.

There’s more to life than movies.

Attitude is attitude, whether you’re a West Coast gangster or East Coast gangster, you know?

I’ve always wanted to race cars, ever since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.

In a militia, the character of the laborer, artificer, or tradesman, predominates over that of the soldier: in a standing army, that of the soldier predominates over every other character.

The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit, a reputation, character.

For me acting, comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don’t act at all. I think that to feel the character’s pain I have to be myself. Somewhere audiences see that.

Knowledge is essential to conquest; only according to our ignorance are we helpless. Thought creates character. Character can dominate conditions. Will creates circumstances and environment.

I am an actor, and I would like to reinvent myself through every character that I portray.

A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.

You don’t get to be a jerk just because you’re skilled.

Your success stops where your character stops. You can never rise above the limitations of your character.
