If you can miss getting up in the morning and running into a wall, I miss playing football. I'll never be a frustrated athlete.

Conflict sometimes produces results, but more often than not it produces confusion at the level of everybody on the same track.

When you go out on auditions for big movies, and you're not a big star, you get used to getting close but not getting the part.

The truth is, you don't ever decide on a role, not when you first begin. You audition for the role, and you're lucky to get it.

I live between Barcelona and Berlin. Staying in Spain over the winter and Berlin for spring and summer is an ideal combination.

I understand that life is not black and white, everything has a different hand, lots of them, I act according to the situation.

I love romance films, especially between people of color, because we don't really explore that enough. I would love to do that.

The box office has become global. I think that factors in to the question of how to portray different ethnicities and cultures.

There's so many characters they [studios] are not letting me play. And I thought, "Why don't you just go produce it yourself?".

Why doesn't my stupid brain understand that I always wanted to be you? No you; no,no..you.Hey,you! now what are you smiling at.

Henry: Well I'm sorry about your head though, but I thought you were one of them. Indiana: Dad, they come in through the doors.

You have to remember that baseball really was the American pastime in the Forties, not football, basketball or any other sport.

When I was a kid, I used to pretend I was Han Solo all the time. Running around with my fingers pretending they were a blaster.

All my buddies over the years, like Kevin Costner and the guys - I see 'em go here, I see 'em go there - but I just do my work.

I want you to know there's nothing... nothing to be afraid of. On one side, there's life. And on the other...there's life, too.

Human beings, we have dark sides; we have dark issues in our lives. To progress anywhere in life, you have to face your demons.

I'm not a big star in Japan. I'm an actor. I have a very normal life. Four days a week, I cook at home. A star doesn't do that.

When we started the show, 'Dallas' was known as the city where JFK was assassinated. By the end it was known as JR's home town.

Appreciate your friends and loved ones. There's no way of knowing what's coming next, so appreciate those who are close to you.

What can I do to help? I am asking my senator to support political action to end hunger in the greatest country on this planet.

If you ever expect life to be fair, you are in for a shocking disappointment. Life is what it is. Fair is something we made up.

I used to be very vain about my thumbs. I have fat thumbs. If there's a movie where you see me on the phone, it's not my hands.

If I do not respond to some situation, my conscience kills me. I believe in permissible violence, not necessarily non-violence.

As much as I really love the praise and affection I get when my work is appreciated, it doesn't translate to money in the bank.

I like to try to change things up a bit in the way that actors such as Philip Seymour Hoffman or Michael Fassbender did and do.

The image of all the cars leaving pastel-colored people at the same time has never really left me as an anti-ambition for life!

We might be too proud to admit it as guys, but we still need to learn how to manage responsibility, how to face our challenges.

I think a fragrance is more of a signature than even what you wear - something you'll remember more down the road than a shirt.

I like doing the mainstream, right-down-the-pike broad comedies as much as I like doing the kind of unorthodox different stuff.

I've lived with boys and girls, and I find that boys are generally cleaner than girls. Generally! This is a big generalization!

Long Kiss Goodnight has a huge cult following. They could make another version of that movie right now and make a lot of money.

Personally, having an eight-pack is a high, but professionally, I cannot be obsessed with it. I'm an actor, not a body builder.

It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll do whatever you have to do to get it.

Life gets so ridiculous, you just have to brush it off like sand and laugh. I think the laughter is good medicine for crap-itis.
