You'd be surprised how difficult it is relinquish a cell phone.

War is chaotic and when you start having a larger scale film and you have a lot of safety protocols and choreography, I would imagine it becomes more difficult.

It's interesting because you feel on the one hand, we understand people from what the say, and in another sense, you'd think that you'd be able to convey more through dialogue.

I always had an actor within me.

I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that's kept me in line. Really in line.

I was a wild, mischievous kid, and I had tremendous imagination. Any experience I had, I'd try to reenact it.

It would be terribly boring to be earnest.

It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.

It's interesting, winning an Academy Award as a young man... life-changing, but I'm just me within that. It's been very helpful for my career, but I'm trying to stay on the path I was on before.

My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years.

Obviously I'm not there to pick up anybody, but I'm not afraid to hang out in a predominantly gay establishment.

What guides me is to do work that's more avant-garde - things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.

It makes good sense for planners everywhere to provide more facilities in general that are aimed at older folks.

I got to learn from the American audience. Hearing what it is they're not getting. These are audiences, 35 to 40, an older demographic that controls seven to 10 trillion dollars. And the producers and distributors have convinced themselves this group doesn't go to the movies.

In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.

I imagine there are a lot of people who will never be able to accept me because they feel I've let them down, but I am a different person, and most people have welcomed me back in that spirit.

I think there are some players born to play ball.

I like boysenberry. I have no idea what it is. And it sounds like poison - which is terrifying - but you can't hold a name against a flavor. If you did that, everyone would hate Crunchberries.

Well, I mean, I'm very much a pragmatic person.

Nothing could capture the sound of Dick Dale - he was too loud.

I know who I am as a person, as a father, and as a husband.

Well, a lot of people don't know this about me, but I'm actually shy around people I don't know. I would just say with my first concert, my first tour, I didn't really talk onstage. I was like, 'Thank you, I love you guys,' or whatever. But now I've just kind of learned to work a crowd.

When guys talk about sex, eyebrows don't get raised. It's different for girls.

For some men the power to destroy life becomes the equivalent to the female power to create life.

Gravity is one variable in a lot of scientific processes. If you can remove gravity or minimize its effect, then you can understand the other processes that are going on.

I only work once or twice a year for about a month, so I have a lot of free time. But I'm good at being alone, which helps.

Naturally, obviously, nudity is a part of life.

The kind of experience of humility and happiness that comes with gratitude tends to crowd out whatever is coarse, or ugly, or mean.

I'm addicted to 'Scandal.' Joe Morton is the devil, and I love him. I am addicted to 'Boardwalk Empire.' Jeffrey Wright is the devil, and I love him.

I need to be looking at what's important in North Carolina, and you better believe that's what I will do.

I spent the first 22 years of my life absorbing everything, like a big disgusting cell, and now I'm disgorging it with jokes added out into the world. That's a really gross metaphor.

The measure of greatness in a scientific idea is the extent to which it stimulates thought and opens up new lines of research.

Popular and good and bad is not the same thing.

I download TV shows more and more, especially from the U.S.

The National Guard has served America as both a wartime force and the first military responders in times of domestic crisis. Hundreds of times each year, the nation's governors call upon their Guard troops to respond to fires, floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters.

We are the rags to riches story, okay, the Robertson's are. Okay? We had very humble beginnings. Everybody's trying to figure out what, what's behind it, and all the Robertsons say, 'Hey, it's divine intervention.' Me personally, okay, God's gonna take 'Duck Dynasty' where he wants it to go, okay, and to the people that he wants it to go to.
