One truth that I know for sure, for me anyway, is that the more you know, the more you realize that you don't know.

It's a joy to be recognized and to have people that are interested in what you do. That can pick up your whole day.

If you win all the time, you lose the drama in life. To make the happy moments happy, you need the sad moments too.

I could spend a whole day at a spa. Id get a facial, a scalp rub, massages, then eat some grapes and be good to go.

I've always loved the showmanship of professional wrestling. While I love making movies, I love that platform, too.

The one thing that I keep learning over and over again is that I don't know nothing. I mean, that's my life lesson.

It's hard to see a film that's been made from a book that you really loved because it's such a different experience

What I like doing these days is spending more time with coaches because I think it's important to work on yourself.

Things are finally starting to calm down and be the way they're supposed to be. I think things happen for a reason.

Magic symbolises the subconscious - that part of us that is creative and powerful that we sometimes don't tap into.

I tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what's interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up.

I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.

I'm interested in all kinds of art. I draw and paint and don't know how to play the banjo, but I do play the banjo.

I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.

Unfortunately, with men's health, we don't talk about it enough, and prostate cancer gets lost in the conversation.

I'm horrified to admit that I just love Salinger. I was devastated to find out that other people feel the same way.

In a play, the director is God, and I'm a great arguer. Rather boringly so, I think, about trying different things.

I'm not a critic. I'm an actor. I see the role I get given on the page. I try to bring it to life as best as I can.

I worked on 'Game Of Thrones' for six years, so I'm very well equipped to handle hype surrounding television shows.

I care about people. In the end, I think they feel it. It comes across, regardless of the character I'm portraying.

I'm just looking for characters that continue to make me stretch and grow and learn more about the human condition.

Ultimately, all human beings fulfill their patterns. We're set in a certain archetype, and we fulfill that destiny.

Im a believer in getting punched in the face. I know it sounds cliched, but to me, fighting is a metaphor for life.

The book tells you everything you need to know. The book is the map of the world that you're in with the character.

Nothing is more frightening than a monster that cares about his health, cause you know he'll be around for a while.

I always wanted to know what it felt like to fall on stage... now I know. It's not how you fall, but how you get up

If you're famous, I don't - for the life of me - I don't understand why any famous person would ever be on Twitter.

I don't know if winning at any cost is wrong or not. There are times I've thought that the end justified the means.

I enjoy directing. I don't know whether it's improving or not, but it's certainly evolving in different directions.

I think people would be suprised at how much we curse when we screw up. I'm like somebody with Tourette's Syndrome.

I've passed up opportunities. I've avoided the spotlight. I've never been to Academy Awards, didn't relate to them.

I watch television. Game shows - I hate the hosts and the people on them, and I love the questions and the answers.

What did we play in the Harry Dean Stanton Band? It was old blues and country - all covers. I never wrote anything.

I could have been a lot more famous and played leading men and everything. For whatever reason, I didn't go for it.

Funny and sad are two sides of the same coin. I think that most comedians are able to tap into deep subject matter.

Only in America can the first-generation Indian American Muslim kid get on the stage and make fun of the president.

I call my style Classic Americana Swag. I do my vibe, and I'll throw in a cool sneaker here or there, a pair of Js.

Every time a U.S.A. Today slides underneath my door, it's like they're saying, 'Hey, you're not that smart, right?'

I do think that drugs and alcohol have been glorified and exoticized in such a way that it gets into the art world.

Acting is acting, but acting is different in almost always every project, and very, very different in this context.

I'd rather feel empathy for a character that's fictional, so it doesn't quite tie into personal experience as much.

If you're a good actor, then you channel enough of yourself into the character so that you do get that other thing.

Comedy isn't just timing; it's about rooting out the funny in the real. You just bend reality to the left a little.

I run six-to-eight miles a day, plus weights and aerobics in the lunch hour. I also lie a lot, which keeps me thin.

I suspect the base that I'm working from is not particularly one of inquiry, but of memory of what I did last time.

I got better as an actor, and still I'm getting better. That's only been possible because there's always been work.

The symphonic sounds of nature awaken every cell in my body and, in that moment, without a doubt, I am truly alive.

I don't want to see blood spewing out but I don't mind it in controlled environment. Does it make me squeamish? No.

For me, to get to play an action hero in a science fiction film is a marriage of two genres that I'm a huge fan of.

I absolutely love working with David Boreanaz, and Charisma Carpenter I completely adore - she teaches me to dance.
