“The whole year I was in LA I got into telemarketing and learned how to make money. Five years later that skill helped me make my first film.”

I love women more than anything.

Choosing the car you drive is like choosing your wardrobe, maybe even more important.

A person in my position has to restrain himself.

I haven’t had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God.

I don’t think a lot of actors talk about it, but there’s usually a process where you essentially purge yourself of the character that you played prior to the movie.

Film is my hobby, so I will work well through the night to develop films, whatever film I’m doing or dream projects I have.

I do practice martial arts, more as a recreational thing, but a lot of my friends have been heavyweight champions the in mixed martial arts world.

If you had asked me back in grade school what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said my first choice was an actor, but if I couldn’t be that, I’d want to be a superhero.

It’s insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.

I’m a boy who appreciates a good body, regardless of the make.

I enjoy playing a quintessential antihero. There’s something therapeutic about playing such characters. I know it sounds corny but I feel like I learn about myself when I play that characters.

I’ve turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.

Being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of age. But being a Gentleman is a matter of choice.

Any film that you see is never just the director. If it’s a film that you love, it’s not so easy to say, “Oh it’s directed by this person – that means everything that person directs is going be wonderful.”

I can’t go white, Indian, Asian, Latin. For me, in my existence, if I’m anything, I’m inclusive of everyone, and we are just one, and I hope that global harmony is in all of us.

I am definitely a person of color.

Education is the investment our generation makes in the future.

I pledge to you today that as president, in my first budget, I will introduce the largest increase in special education ever.

The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.

I trained for three years at drama school to be an actor – not a celebrity.

I discovered that success has very little to do with education or race or disposition; it has more to do with principles and following those principles.

In the fullness of time, educated people will believe there is no soul independent of the body, and hence no life after death.

Education isn’t something you can finish.

There have been times when I have deliberately tried to take my life… I think I must have been crying for some attention.
