So it's really nice after about a year and a half to get back on stage and flex those old muscles.

I've always loved reprehensible people because they're so much more interesting to play on screen.

Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.

For an actor, its great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks. Audiences love to hate them.

When you've accomplished a certain amount in your career, you're not so focused on your ambitions.

Directing talent is very nebulous. You know, it's not in front of you like an actor's performance.

I was there the night John Lennon was shot, three blocks away. It left a lasting impression on me.

I truly believe that we have infinite levels of power that we don't even know are available to us.

I always knew the way in was Bruce Wayne. It wasn't Batman. It was never Batman. That was the key.

I had a Jesuit education, and I consider acting and the theater as kind of a calling - a vocation.

You know, one of my favorite movies that inspired me and got me started was 'Dead Poet's Society.'

I've been seeing superhero movies as long as I can remember. I don't think they're going anywhere.

I think the writing on the wall is definitely there this year that this is probably our last year.

I wish I were a character actor. Of course, if I played hockey without a mask, I could become one.

The music stuff has been very difficult. It's got to be right, and even then, it better be on key.

I think sexy is vulnerability, and there's no way you can act vulnerable. It just has to be there.

I think it's hard to convince an audience of some sort of chemistry if you really don't get along.

I had my first stereo when I turned 12, and every two weeks, I would save up money and buy one CD.

Comedy and sausages are the two things that if you know how they're made they affect the appetite.

Everywhere I go, people come up to me on the street and ask me if there’s going to be another one!

People with dirty jobs are happier than you think. As a group, they're the happiest people I know.

No one likes a show-off, but if parallel parking was an Olympic sport, I would get gold, no probs.

Life is a series of embarrassing moments which leave you feeling alone in your confusion and shame

I'm very much in denial that I can't dance. I really go for it, which is almost more embarrassing.

I believe it doesn't really matter where you work as long as you work. Keep sharpening your teeth.

Our situation, with global warming and air quality and all of that, has gotten to be catastrophic.

I want to thank everybody and anybody who ever had anything to do with the making of this picture.

I never had any ambitions of being a movie star or anything like that, but you know, this is nice.

Back in the day, I would wear up to 45 pounds of gold. It would take me four hours to get dressed!

He's easily the most well-adjusted former child star in the room, please welcome... Jason Bateman.

For being such a dark city, 'Gotham,' it's a really, really sweet group of people, very welcoming.

I don't regret anything that I've turned down, and I don't regret anything that I've done, really.

I like an otter. I like a sea lion. I like a walrus. That's my favorite version of a sea creature.

I never felt comfortable in real life very well. It's always been an awkward kind of thing for me.

The greatest movie would be the movie that gave the audience a cathartic feeling of transcendence.

Being funny has always mattered a lot to me. It's why I started acting - to make my friends laugh.

Yeah, my real name is Coppola. I changed it because they'd think I was some nepotism-oriented kid.

I've always believed that the greatest actors are the ones that have the voices that are imitable.

Still, to this day, I can't run on the treadmill. Why not just run outside? I never understood it.

His advice to me is basically to just love what you do and don't let the fear of failure stop you.

I'm not a villain, I've never hurt anyone. I'm just a tawdry character who explodes now and again.

I don't expect anything from anybody. When you grow old... Your days are gone; it is part of life.

Believing you're something that you're not excites the mind and the imagination. And it's hopeful.

Be comfortable. I think if you're comfortable, you exude confidence, and that leads to good style.

When you are down and out something always turns up - and it is usually the noses of your friends.

I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.

Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up.

Coen brothers movies are not always what life looks like but it's definitely what life feels like.

'Cool' is detached and emotionally cool. My instinct is to battle anything that seems overly cool.

I watched 'Rocky' and 'Raging Bull' and 'Taxi Driver' over and over again. They spoke to you, man.
