Everything is interesting to me.

In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.

I've done scenes in films that I felt like the performance was better in certain takes, but they couldn't use them because it didn't match what the person was doing when they came around and the camera was on them.

I was stuck as a Boomer type in a lot of people's minds.

Home wasn't a pleasant place to live, growing up.

I have a DVD player and I have DVDs, and I have no time to watch any of them.

I try to do things I haven't been able to before.

It's great to be able to have your feet in both worlds. I wouldn't want to be just stuck in one or the other.

I've always tried to not let movie, television or theatre be all that my life is about. I've always tried to get involved in the community or my family now I have kids.

I don't care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself.

I've tried to let the work I do speak.

In my first film, I was a basketball player. Like every good actor, I lied when they asked me if I could play.

I'm a very private person.

Everything is interesting to me.

I'm acting for the pleasure of it.

By the time I could have played football, I was already into acting and that's what I wanted to do.

With Sean Penn, he wants to be surprised. He doesn't necessarily want what he's written, although we'll do what he's written. He likes the danger of acting.

Film is a very intimate medium.

I don't even know what TV star means. I know there's a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.

I'm not sure I always feel like I'm in the seat. Sometimes I'm only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don't know anybody who doesn't feel that way.

I will be always grateful to NBC.

You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.

I don't like talking about myself. I'm not really interested in myself. One of the good things about being a supporting actor is that you get to talk about other people.

No matter how many people tell you, Save your money, when you've got a series, you never do. Somehow it doesn't seem important. Maybe it's because you've been without money for so long as an actor.

I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.

I don’t run to add days to my life, I run to add life to my days.

Laziness prevents more crimes than morality.

Line... is the most important part of any painting.

Oddly enough you'd think, now that I wasn't training professionally, I'd be able to enjoy a lie-in at the weekend, but I actually slept more when I was competing because I was so tired.

Changes like the telephone and telegraphy, which tend to reduce the cost of organizing spatially, will tend to increase the size of the firm.

I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.

You don't get on your feet if you don't have to, you know. And these people were on their feet rockin', and that was thrilling for David and I, absolutely.

It's kind of a shock to your skin, changing climates. It's new water, and new air quality.

Active creation is conceived as a transitive action in which there is always presupposed an object about which the agent is concerned; it is virtually but not formally transitive because it makes, not presupposes, an object.

Education is the kindling of a flame not the filling of a vessel.

You know what, when you screw up in the ring, it's so embarrassing.

If I had it to do over, I might have finished school first, then devoted all my time to StumbleUpon instead of dividing my time between the two. In the end, however, it was probably good to take the time I did.

Money isn't everything. Do you get married because of money? Do you have kids because of money?

Eating a high-nutrient diet actually makes you more satisfied with less food, and actually gives the ability to enjoy food more without overeating.

If you tickle the earth with a hoe she laughs with a harvest.

Doc Savage, Indiana Jones, Flash Gordon... these were the kinds of characters I was thinking about as I was developing Jonas Quantum because there aren't that many brand new characters being introduced anymore.

The first Mardi Gras I went to, I stayed at the Tulane AE Pi house on Broadway. Slept on a pool table one night, slept under it the next.

Number one, you can sell before you buy. I call it reverse e-commerce. You take a picture, you list it for sale, you sell it, you collect the revenue, then you go buy it and send it to the customer.

Compliance with the Stop Online Piracy Act would require huge overhead spending by Internet companies for staff and technologies dedicated to monitoring users and censoring any infringing material from being posted or transmitted.

Nothing meant for you will run away from you.

I would wear a full-length cape if I could get away with it - I do love a good swirl in a fog.

Of course one can't eat in a civilized fashion while touring in theatres. But I still manage to get my three meals a day. I find that is sufficient for training.
