I'm not a fighter. I'm not a tough guy at all. I walk away from fights.
I think some of the scariest people I've met in my life have been some of the sweetest.
Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Penn to me are the two best actors of all time. I'm just glad to have the pleasure to be in an era that they're acting while I'm acting. They're probably the best actors in my mind.
For a time, it would work well. then it worked less and my pain was more. I would go through wild bouts of depression, horrible comedowns. I understand why kids kill themselves. I absolutely do. You feel terrible. You feel soul-less. "I'll never do it to my child".
If it wasn't for her literally doing my homework for me, I would not have even graduated high school. Guaranteed . . . My mom always said, 'Luck is nothing but preparation and opportunity.' I think because I've had that history of not really being great in school, I probably try to overcompensate. That's why I try to read so many books. Just so I don't feel . . . uneducated.
I have a theory that as nice and sweet as you can be equates to how dangerous you can be.
Everyone's a nerd inside. I don't care how cool you are.
I learned to appreciate repetition. That's why I can dance. It's how I learned to act. I have a high tolerance for repetition.
I think that the divorce rate's over 50% for a reason. I don't think people are taking enough time now to really see if they can make it work and live together.
There are so many great stories and characters out there that you can just keep saying, "Yes," but you've got to eventually make the decision that if it's something you really want then do it for yourself.
Just relax and really say what you're actually thinking, and not what you think people want to hear.
I sort of became infatuated with soldiers. I got to know some of them and got a little perturbed with Hollywood making a spectacle out of them and making them look like they have screwed up somehow.
I don't know what you're going through life doing if you're not really trying to collect some really great memories.
I did kung fu from when I was nine to 13. You have to be really careful but you want to be able to make it look eventually as though it's just a part of you. So, you train over and over and over again.
