Violence doesn't solve anything? World War I. World War II. Star Wars. Every Super Bowl. Who says violence doesn't solve anything?

I envy people who can just look at a sunset. I wonder how you can shoot it. There is nothing more grotesque to me than a vacation.

One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you're a star you're dead already. You're embalmed.

Happy Birthday To Steph, You're a Hoe with Big Breasts, so take the Night off from Hooking... If ya Smell what The Rock's cooking!

I'm more patriotic than I am political - I appreciate politics but I'm not quite too sure if that's a road I'm willing to go down.

I really am a character actor, in my heart of hearts, because I really do like developing characters and painting a past for them.

I cannot stress this enough - if you try to install an HDTV in a non-HDTV compatible house, you may tear the space-time continuum.

Music gets inside you, music captures you. Music becomes your heartbeat. It’s a drug and makes you feel whatever the song’s about.

I don't think musicals are my thing. I'm not a big fan. Definitely have to get on the stage and do something like a straight play.

Well, Drew. Makes you feel any better. There's one thing that Kelly and this title have in common. They'll never be seen with you.

The fulfilling of who you are and your purpose for being here is not found outside, it's trusting God to move you, to inspire you.

Whenever a really passionate, talented filmmaker seems to have an interest in me, I take it very seriously because I like to work.

We live in a funny time. If you don't go corporate, you can't compete. You're relegated as irrelevant. People used to admire that.

He`s quite extraordinary with his moves and spins. I think he was a baton girl in a past life [on his co-star Hayden Christensen].

I certainly don' think I could've played the character [Idi Amin] the same way without being in Uganda. I loved working in Uganda.

Directing is more comfortable for me because, as an actor, there's always something inherently false. Because I'm not that person.

We must agree to live in this world, with all that is unfair about it, without knowing why, if we wish to have a God in our lives.

I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.

What I appreciated was the fact that the script delved into how Australians were - and still are - condescended to by the English.

When me and my sister were toddlers, it was 'The Jungle Book' literally every day. If it was lunchtime, it was 'Jungle Book' time.

We're Hollywood, it's no big deal to see movie stars, TV stars, whatever. But if I go outside of LA, that's when people freak out.

The starship Enterprise was a metaphor starship Earth, and the vision was that the strength of this starship lay in its diversity.

I'm a chairman on the Board of Governors for the East-West Players, the longest-running Asian-American theater company in America.

I appreciate and love women for many reasons, tall and small, plump and skinny, and crazy and demure. I see beauty in all of them.

The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.

I learned to really pursue things I really wanted. If it is just for the money, that's not going to work out. You have to like it.

It is easier to be gay at this very moment than it was five minutes ago. It is just constantly getting better, and it's wonderful.

I reckon it's more of an external perspective that on some level you really can control and dictate how your career's going to go.

When you're a kid, and you grow up, it takes some time for people to associate you with more things other than that initial thing.

I hate when you go into a nice restaurant - someplace where you're going to spend good money - and there are kids in there crying.

Comedy is essentially made by young men, or older men with some form of arrested development, for young men or immature older men.

I want to explore marriage without the usual Hallmark Card platitudes. Life is difficult, and I like movies that acknowledge that.

The comic edge of 'Ghostbusters' will always be the same. It's still treating the supernatural with a totally mundane sensibility.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

There's nothing I need from anyone except love and respect, and anyone who can't give me those two things has no place in my life.

When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that's happened that day just melts away.

People photograph everything and nothing - no interaction is deemed to have actually happened unless somebody has a picture of it.

Gandalf's a good guy, and it's a good part. He says the right things, he believes the right things. An actor can have fun with it.

It's, like, bigots want to embrace me, and I politely take their arms from around my neck. I don't share their views - never have.

I grew up with three sisters, so I got used to being around them and all of their worries about fashion and what they are wearing.

Gunn, like me, has a James Bond obsession. He would love to be James Bond, and it's a great role that I would love to be, someday.

In very simple language, Morrie always seems to be able to explain something that other people would take a chapter for, you know.

It is important for me to truly understand the people I am portraying and their struggles, in order to give an honest performance.

The hair is really a way to push me even farther out of just what people know me for. I don't really know what people know me for.

For me, Charles Xavier is a monk. He's like a selfless, egoless almost sexless force for the betterment of humanity and mortality.

Hospitals are very extreme places - you can be in a maternity room one minute, and by someone's bedside as they're dying the next.

My father is Jaime Rodriguez from San Antonio, Texas, and I've got one whole half of my family that's Mexican through and through.
