It is such a cut throat industry where you get knocked down so much and get rejected so much. If you do not back yourself up, no one else is going to so you really need to learn to get up, shake the sand off your chest and keep going.

I like playing the villain.

I do not think I'm a great talent. I think I'm a medium talent, but I think I understand the business and enjoy the business.

I write music just for me. I'm certainly not good enough to do it on any kind of a level but I enjoy that time because it's quiet.

Losing my anonymity in this world I think is something that I find terrifying.

I really enjoy doing charity, for a good cause, it's like the least I can do, I really enjoy that stuff. I enjoy giving back.

I'm the son of an everyman. My father is a teacher. He teaches physics at a boys' school in Sydney.

My trumpeting sounds like a goose farting in the fog.

The mecca of filmmaking in the world just so happens to be in America. It's quite simply a case of us just going where the work is.

I do have a stunt double because there are certain things that they won't let me do. Like they won't set fire to me. They won't like let me jump off a 20 story building. There are certain big stunts that it's just impossible to get insurance to let me do, but for the most part I'd say I do probably 75% of my stuff.

Time is the thing. A show like this pulls all your time away from you. Usually I'll get home from work on a Saturday about 10am (after doing night shooting) and I'll sleep until Saturday afternoon. Saturday night and Sunday I'm usually feeling wiped out and I've not seen Holly all week. It's a pretty full-on life, but what do you do? I love my work and there are sacrifices.

I don't know what I'm really good at. I'm really good at sittin' by the pool. I have to work at that. I'm really bad at auditioning.

I am a big fan of vampires. I've always been obsessed with the genre, and the beautiful romanticism and erotic kind of nature of the immortal being, the undead who lives on human blood.

It's nice having your work recognized but having people follow you around is kinda weird.

If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit, I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted instantaneously by electricity.

I just want to be on my own branch twittering.

I don't want a tailor-made approach where the British have the best of two worlds. That will be too big an incentive for others to leave and kill the European idea, which is based on shared responsibilities.

If you have ever walked in Paris, you will see that Paris will ever walk in your memoires!

Music is one of the noblest callings I can think of. It's the highest of all the art forms to me. For example, if my kid said to me, 'I want to give it all up,' whatever it is that they're doing, 'and I want to take my saxophone and go out,' I would say, 'May God go with you. This is a great and noble thing that you're doing.'

Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.

'Anna Nicole' came from Guess Jeans; Paul Marciano and me and one of his friends, we were sitting around coming up with a stage name, and that's where that came from.

If I was going to do anything, I'd be a producer, only because I'd like to have a say in what gets made and what doesn't.

It's a lot of fun to just say to people, proudly, 'I get to play the First Lady.' It's just fun to say.

I wish America would stop judging and criticizing teens and instead, try to understand the battles they have to fight every day.

Chemistry is the unclean part of physics. Chemistry is the dirty part of physics.

Magic Johnson, former basketball player, may run for mayor of LA in the next election. Remember the good 'ol days when only qualified people ran for office like actors and professional wrestlers.

I don't start my show at 200%. I like to go in slow, warm up the crowd, and bring them along with me. To hear everyone singing along is so great.

My mom knows when something is real and something is not.

Most fourth graders can't say why Abraham Lincoln is an important historical figure? Wow. This is far more distressing than if the news had been that fourth graders were bad at reciting multiplication tables, because you can, in fact, Google that.

Arthur is my middle name; George is my dad's middle name.

The voters in my district, and around the country, have demanded that Congress get a hold on the influx of illegal immigrants and tighten the security around our borders.

Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind.

Bob Dylan is like an alien on this earth, and I love him! I cried when I saw him play live because I was so close to him.

When you look into a mirror rorrim a otni kool uoy nehW it is not yourself you see ees uoy esruoy ton si ti but a kind of apish error rorre hsipa fo dnik a tub posed in fearful symmetry yrtemmys lufraef ni desop

And the cornerstone of my economic policies, when I first got elected, was cutting taxes on everybody on who paid taxes.

Wine lovers have known for centuries that decanting wine before serving it often improves its flavor. Whatever the dominant process, the traditional decanter is a rather pathetic tool to accomplish it. A few years ago, I found I could get much better results by using an ordinary kitchen blender.

I'm not a very creative person, you know? I'm not really an art person. I'm not a great reader or writer or artist or musician.

Shakespeare is like mother's milk to me.
