“Strength & Courage. Peace & Truth. Fertility & Growth. Life in Movement. My country stands for these values.”

I’m try-sexual. I try anything that’s sexual.

When people call me God, I say, no, I’m still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.

I thank God for happiness and sadness. If you are never sad you will never know how good happiness is.

The collar-bone is my favourite part of the human body.

As an actor you’re only supposed to be a lover. I am a romantic hero though I don’t like that tag. With all the hardships, problems, illness, goodness, badness, awards and money. An actor will always be a lover. And a lover makes mistakes. You’ll be silly, nonsensical and stupid.

I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile.

The illusion that you could hold to yourself the things you most want and lose the things you least wanted to keep is the struggle of life.

Just be nice to me while I am doing the scene; that is all. I don’t want big cars, I don’t want big hotel rooms.

Whenever I fail as a father or husband. A toy and a diamond always works.

You can love me or hate me but you can’t ignore me.

Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.

It’s easy to be ignorant but it’s very intricate to be aware.

Togetherness, passion, laughter, faith, trust, and jealousy are the essential ingredients of love.

They say time is measured in days, months and beards.

Live life to the fullest tomorrow may never be.

Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can’t escape it.

But just as they did in Philadelphia when they were writing the constitution, sooner or later, you’ve got to compromise. You’ve got to start making the compromises that arrive at a consensus and move the country forward.

America is the only country ever founded on a creed.

I’m enjoying the most perfect tranquillity, free from all worries, and in consequence would like to stay this way forever, in a peaceful corner of the countryside like this.

My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me.

My responsibility, our responsibility as lucky Americans, is to try to give back to this country as much as it has given us, as we continue our American journey together.

Here in England, everyone’s a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

Once upon a time there was an old country, wrapped up in habit and caution. We have to transform our old France into a new country and marry it to its time.

The blood of man should never be shed but to redeem the blood of man. It is well shed for our family, for our friends, for our God, for our country, for our kind. The rest is vanity; the rest is crime.
