I think often in film we limit our imaginations a little - well, quite a lot, actually things get quite formulaic.

When I got into drama school, that's when I knew that I could safely say that I wanted to be a professional actor.

My second ex-wife was really kind of like a ship passing in the night. Only she turned out to be the Exxon Valdez.

Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred.

If you're going to walk into a scene on a stage, you've gotta know what room you just left and what just happened.

I think most actors will tell you the same thing; when you're not working you put 100 percent into every audition.

I really enjoy talking to actors or filmmakers that enjoy that process of creating and how they go about doing it.

People watch me when I get into these characters that I have in my head, so perhaps I should try acting. So I did.

When the road looks rough ahead, remember the 'Man upstairs' and the word HOPE. Hang onto both and 'tough it out'.

Communism is quite obviously still a threat. Yes, they are human beings, with a right to their point of view . . .

I like language, and in film, language is diluted by the visuals and the music. Theatre is what I was trained for.

For better or worse, I have a lot of vaudeville circus skills that you just can't showcase in Aaron Sorkin's work.

If I were to believe in the stories of the of the gods, then the gods do not need mortals to defend them, do they?

We got to go one step further than even 'Make in India.' Let's make India itself - India 2.0, the updated version.

Life is like a B-picture script! It is that corny. If I had my life story offered to me to film, I'd turn it down.

While I may never be in remission from cancer, I am currently in remission from an unhealthy relationship to food.

I like all my work equally. I look at the projects as children. I look at the experience more than the end result.

At the end of the day you do have to write a short novel beforehand, called a script, before you can make a movie.

Well, I couldn't spell my name until I was eight - my second name. I was so dyslexic. Max I could do. Irons, nope.

You know, Taylor Lautner, with a body like that, he should be taking his shirt off. For me, it's not so essential.

You have to look closely To see that it is pretty You have to look long To see that it is lovable You are the same

If we can reach in wih the art and touch the imagination of the child, no matter who, we have affected that child.

Meaningful relationships are two-way, and that means constantly looking for ways to improve your customers' lives.

If you've got kids you know you've only got one prayer: "Let my kids outlive me." That's the bottom of everything.

You don't run from the bad things in life; learn from them, because your worst is what will lead you to your best.

The only reason I took up small roles in big banner films was in the hope to get the attention of other directors.

Music is a big passion for me, and whenever we all friends get together we play guitar, sing songs and play games.

That's a really strange, unique position to be in - royalty is where you have no choice over what your duties are.

A well-tailored suit is important - and I don't like wearing belts with mine - it should be tailored to your body.

I'm not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now.

I think it's every actor's dream to play a character that's really odd, and you know no one wants to play himself.

I'm not that interested in going and doing a network show but, like everybody else, trying to find something good.

I personally believe the film turns out better when shot in one short schedule, plus it doesn't stress the actors.

One thing I do know is that we are fortunate to be here and we're here to try and better ourselves and to be good.

I'm so thankful that I have gotten the opportunity to fulfill my life purpose of staying inside on tumblr all day.

To be very honest, I worked harder on 'Humpty...' I did many workshops. I never did workshops in 'Main Tera Hero.'

Our children and grandchildren are not going to have the same standard of living unless we educate that workforce.

I've always basically done everything that's been offered to me. I'm one of the few actors who enjoy working a lot.

Audiences don't come to theatres going by reviews. Even if a film is rated low, the collections won't get affected.

Enjoy the films I do, get entertained, get your money's worth, and when you leave the theatre, leave it all behind!

I do not hold God ransom to my success; whatever is his will is my way. I stand by moments; I do not stand by time.

I'm a complete hypochondriac. If my heart starts beating a little faster than normal, I think I'm having an attack.

Lincoln is me. He is America. He is what makes us a great nation and a dangerous nation, all wrapped up in one man.

We all go through life bristling at our external limitations, but the most difficult chains to break are inside us.

If you are a creative person, then your mind gets sharper with age. My mind is very sharp, and I am happy for that.

The collective experience of watching a great film together in a room is a transcendent moment that will never die.
