Don't listen to what anybody says except the people who encourage you. If it's what you want to do and it's within yourself, then keep going and try to do it for the rest of your life.
I've learned over the years that freedom is just the other side of discipline.
Ask yourself why a red carpet is red. It could be any colour.
Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.
I think that we all have within us the potential for almost anything. If we play close attention to our lives, then we can get at it somehow.
We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen.

Every journey starts with fear.
I like the idea of the adventurer's spirit. I think that is very much what a man searches for, in a certain way.

Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
I think it's important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.
I think you hear a lot of people say 'I support the troops' and all of that, but I really feel deeply that I do.
