“Oliver Stone. Is that not enough?”

I grew up on movie sets, getting to see storytelling happen up close.

Romantic dramas? I love The Notebook. Titanic was great. Classic.

Really I’m a fan of any movie, whether it’s suspense, action, or comedy, anything that has a good story.

I normally go-to whiskey on the rocks. Or a beer. Or with dinner, a glass of white wine.

I couldn’t say a specific thing, but the media is not really held to high standards anymore.

If I’m gonna play a character in a movie or if I want to be the lead of a film, you wanna carry the guy, you wanna get the girl, you wanna save the day or the world.

My dad is really old school: Whatever you do, just be the best at it. He didn’t really care if I was a plumber or a roofer. It didn’t matter what I did. He said, Go out and find out what you like to do, and be the best at it.

I just do what Clint Eastwood does: Keep moving forward. You can’t look back or think about that kind of stuff too much. You just keep making movies; hopefully you make some good ones.

Be the leads of big films that are entertaining and maybe then cross over to stuff that moves people and has a little bit more texture to it.

I’m just looking to be in the best movies possible and do the best work possible and try to become a better actor and make better movies.

For movies like The Longest Ride, I got to hang out with cowboys at rodeos and learned how to ride a bull, essentially.

Keep your head down, work hard, and don’t ever believe your own hype, because… you just keep working.

It would be creepy if you knew my home address.

Sometimes people just show up, which is kind of scary. And then you are like, ‘Okay guy… got to leave’.

I have tough skin. I don’t really read any of the comments unless they are positive. I don’t accept that much negativity in my life. It’s not an option.

Not write, maybe develop. Direct, sure. As an actor, you work on so many films, you sort of start to see who directs well and who doesn’t.

God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God’s intention: It’s exactly what is in every moment.

We don’t know that we’ve lost half a minute from our lives but we feel it somehow, we feel its absence.

This is the case with thousands: they appear desirous of knowing the truth, but have not patience to wait in a proper way to receive an answer to their question.

Something is missing, we think. And so we long for the thing we’ve missed and can’t name, and out of that wanting – well, everything else rises, good and bad.

Ted Kennedy’s achievements as a senator have towered over his time, changing the lives of far more Americans than remember the name Mary Jo Kopechne.

Remember that the word of God is not sent to particular persons, as if by name; and do not think you have no part in it, because you are not named there.

Whenever anyone utters with reverence the name of Babaji, that devotee attracts an instant spiritual blessing.

Every body consists of three ingredients. The names of these are Sulphur, Mercury, and Salt.
