I don't make a big deal out of playing football at UGA to people who have interviewed me.

The philosophy that I've embraced isn't about sitting under a tree and studying my navel.

I have always found myself playing the hero, but I love villains. Villains have more fun.

Don’t give them what you think they want. Give them what they never thought was possible.

It's important to feel and to be connected to your emotions, whichever way they play out.

I'm terrible at languages. I'm trying to learn Spanish. I tried to learn French as a kid.

I try to shave at night so my skin has a chance to settle by the early morning call-time.

I get tired of myself pretty fast. So I can't imagine other people don't get tired of me.

I've never not been proud of the work I was doing; I have nothing I have any shame about.

My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I'm not a big sugar guy.

I stopped acting a long time ago and my primary career has been producing-directing film.

A year after winning the Oscar, almost to the day, I was directing a dog food commercial.

If people enjoy my profile from the privacy of their own home, that's entirely up to you.

I am this guy who's four and a half feet tall, but my life doesn't constantly address it.

I love to direct my daughter, and act with her, and we both want to work with Jane again.

Sometimes I wish I could just fall in love. Then, at least you know who your opponent is.

Be good to people, be kind to people, show up, read the lines, hit the mark, and go home.

Man does not live by words alone, in spite of the fact that sometimes he has to eat them.

To me, in life, if you have a sense of humor about it, that's how you deal with anything.

I was always the shame of the family - the one Yankee who was actually born in the North.

I went through this delayed-adolescence thing. I didn't want to be tied down to a family.

In a way, comedy is like sex. The more noise you hear, the better you think you're doing.

Seriously - quite seriously - I firmly believe that marriage is to be enjoyed and shared.

On my last day of shooting, I'd be happy to say 'Cut, it's a wrap' and fall off the twig.

An hour's hard digging is a good way of getting one's mind back in the right perspective.

Nothing is secret once you tell anyone. If you want to keep it quiet - don't tell a soul.

Happiness has a bad rap. People say it shouldn't be your goal in life. Oh, yes it should.

We mistake politics for legislative debate. You can be passionate without being personal.

I often sit back and think, I wish I'd done that, and find out later that I already have.

Listen - I like musicals. Even when they're bad, there's a couple of dancers I can watch.

It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.

You can't go back and edit during the live set in the club. In the studio it's different.

I've stolen a lot. Let me think about the best thing I've stolen. Stolen a lot of hearts.

If you are a creative person, you try to create things that are an extension of yourself.

I just think it's good to be confident. If I'm not on my team why should anybody else be?

Does any new parent, even if you're not a first-time parent, ever really know what to do?

'Shaggy Dog' was a very, very important movie for me. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Horror does better when it's bubbling under. It's a niche. It doesn't like the limelight.

Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as 'Claudia'!

I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.

Our profession is very much like going to a cocktail party, you check out the guest list.

Kid, if You Need Booze or Drugs to Enjoy Your Life to the Fullest, You're Doing It Wrong.

Anyway, when I was a kid, I dutifully went to the Sydney Technical and Fine Arts College.

I can't say I was unhappy as a child actor in films. I had a particularly wonderful time.

I enjoy tennis, though don't play very often nowadays, and skiing... oh yes and swimming.

I'm not a naturally funny man. I find that I can only be funny, if I become someone else.

Even when I was down, I treated myself as a star and eventually the world would catch up.

I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.

Id be happiest standing at the back, strumming my little banjo where no one could see me.

We had a script reading, and that's where we met J.K. Rowling, which was really exciting.
