Twilight is like death; the dark portal of night comes upon us, to open again in the glorious morning of immortality.

'The Buccaneers' was an Edith Wharton novel, and she never finished it, and a screenwriter adapted it for television.

I still work really hard, but I like to think I'm a little smarter about at least the type of movie I'm getting into.

All of my fans are beautiful. Some don't know it, & that sucks 'cause every girl deserves to know they are beautiful.

There's nothing worse than finishing your last take on a movie and thinking, 'God! I finally nailed who this guy was!

I am passionate about a few things, of course acting, films/TV and improving the lives of youth in urban communities.

I have been to Heaven, I've been to Hell, I've been possessed by Lucifer. You can't really get much bigger than that.

Do you want to continue being great at being in your twenties, or do you want to step up and graduate into adulthood?

The truth is we're all searching. We're all looking for guidance, for mentors, and I'm by no means someone to follow.

I miss my boats, and I miss having the ability to be out on the water during the daytime and then go skiing at night.

The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That's the only principle meaning of any award.

I'm from Dallas. My whole family is based in Texas and Mississippi and Arkansas, spread throughout most of the South.

Myths are wonderful tools that we've had, oh, for eons now that help us navigate the situations we find ourselves in.

I was loving music, and loving art, painting, so I was considering those things, but I must say I dug acting as well.

Yeah but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should.

When I did the pilot, Mort was very real to me. When I got through with the ten weeks, Maura is even more real to me.

Mine is an actor's voice, not a singer's voice, but the part was written for an actor (Richard Burton), not a singer.

I've never disliked a character I've played. I've always tried to find the humanity and the reasons for what he does.

What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.

When I was younger, I could be pretty bitter. I still have moments, but I think I've gotten pretty good at rejection.

When you're on set you don't realize the way something is going to look since you're on the other side of the camera.

I will say, I'm a great, great, great grandson of Stephen F. Austin. He founded Austin, Texas, which is kind of cool.

I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I'd have a hairy conniption. I'd just go crazy.

We all don't feel like a million bucks, even if you're an actor. You just don't; not all of us feel like movie stars.

I started out in the theater, and my background is classical. I'd love to be in a film version of a Shakespeare play.

I've been married three times, but I'll never forget my first trip as a young man, on my honeymoon, with my new wife.

I did my holy communion, and it was amazing how quickly the stories of the Bible and God and Jesus got under my skin.

For me to take a role, I read a script, and I think, 'Wow, I don't know how I'm going to do this, but I want to try.'

Half the stuff I have done which has been successful would never have been made if it had been shown to focus groups.

Chicago my favourite American city. I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.

In every case, I find pre-planning noble, but not always that useful in comedy. You know comedy once you're doing it.

You can do good work simply staying up all night and eating nothing but junk food, but probably not in the long term.

I was a horrible limo driver: I ran out of gas with passengers in the back and I used to get lost on a regular basis.

I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It's really risky.

Tom Cruise has-we all have-the right to practice how we feel...don't judge someone until they have tossed your salad.

I think having a private life that you only share with your nearest and dearest is important. Otherwise, who are you?

Just as long as something is gained, a lesson is learned. I do like those. The more quiet victories are always great.

In all my years as an actor, I had never been me - I had always hidden behind my glasses, mustaches and funny voices.

As a writer, I haven't delved into dramatic writing. As an actor, I could always, even more so than comedy, do drama.

One of my philosophies as a director is to listen to other people's great ideas because they'll help make you better.

No, the type-casting didn't happen until after Star Trek. I don't think that you get typecast until you've been cast!

If I were to be back on Glee, I would like to spend some time with Lea Michele because I love her and we go way back.

We didn't have a glee club at my school. It depends on what area of the States you're from. It's more in the Midwest.

I have an eclectic taste in stuff whether it be movies or music or books or food or anything. Variety is interesting.

I think acting is totally conducive to being a little kid, because kids are less inhibited and use their imagination.

Back then they had Elvis and they thought Elvis was so risqué. So everyone has their perception to what innocence is.

People ask what it's like playing Prince Charming, but it's not something you really think about when you go to work.

Besides acting which is my first love, I am also interested in behind the scenes.. Directing , writing and producing.

It's the South that maintains the idea that they're different, which is interesting because nobody else really cares.

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.
