Showing up is like 90 percent of the battle, and just make sure your hair is really cute.

A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.

Generally a wise actor will be very careful about the person to whom he gives that power.

I love cameras but I find myself reluctantly taking pictures because what's past is past.

Pray for your mate. Ask God to soften your heart and show you ways to be a better spouse.

I'm kind of glad that I was able to properly grow up before becoming a massive movie star.

When I feel myself getting overwhelmed, I take a deep breath and eat a piece of chocolate.

I thought I was signed up to be on 'Heroes.' It turns out I signed up to be on 'Survivor.'

Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

Be brave enough to live creatively . . . what you'll discover will be wonderful: yourself.

It's really rare for film directors to be that interested in things other than themselves.

With 'Urban Secrets,' I just really liked the idea of wandering around chatting to people.

I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.

Those are always fun characters to play, the ones who are stupid but speak with authority.

In the beginning of any career, in every job, people are always forcing you to the middle.

There wasn't a lot of discipline in my life, and I hated it being imposed on me at school.

Although I have fantastic connections, I didn't know as a child what feeling secure meant.

I've been acting for 25 years, living out of suitcases on theater tours or film locations.

Mornin' ladies, my goodness don't you look happy. Must be cuttin' somebody up pretty good.

Everyone starts a film thinking that it would be a big hit. But sometimes it goes haywire.

It doesn't matter what people feel about you because everyone is going to have an opinion.

Romeo Must Die was the first film that I did where I was able to just be free as an actor.

Broadchurch' is very different, but it's equally as good as 'The Killing' - if not better.

The road is a lonely place, and that sounds like a cliche, you know, like what is my life?

Everything around us that we call life was made up by people that are no smarter than you.

Working hard, and being thoughtful, and generous, and smart; it's a path to a better life.

With stand-up, it's more interesting to hear about people's failures than their successes.

I missed a lot of school for auditions, but other than that I had a very normal childhood.

Every producer in Hollywood had set me down as a type. I was both amused and disappointed.

There's an old saying in Hollywood: It's not the length of your film, it's how you use it.

I'm more of a 'competitor'; I like to go in the ring and let people judge the competition.

I really liked John Candy in 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles.' He was so good in that movie.

I can't really say how big the cult is. But I'm proud of it. I'm proud that it has a life.

The movies I make, I never see them as accurately portraying a life, but more like fables.

The universe is dynamic. When we are creative, we are the most alive and in touch with it.
