If I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't have done it. If I had a million bucks in the bank, I wouldn't have done Playboy.

I've been doing theatre since I was 5 years old.

The busier you are, the more interesting you are. The more you're off doing your thing and loving your job and your life, that's fascinating.

I'm used to working alone. Frankly with some of the actors I've worked with, I've felt like I was working alone.

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

I'm too old to adapt to somebody else's ways.

I've auctioned off many scripts and will continue to do so for good causes.

I'm gonna be a character in a Happy Meal.

I wish everyone was a sci-fi geek because then there would be no violence in the world. There'd be no wars. There'd only be people e-mailing each other.

Sci-fi nerds are respectful, honorable. You can trust them.

It's great when you find somebody you're compatible with, but I'm really into separate bedrooms. You live your life and I live mine.

Directors never give you anything.

You can't look in the face of adoration and be cruel.

If I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't have done it. If I had a million bucks in the bank, I wouldn't have done Playboy.

I'm more embarrassed about some of the films that I've been in than I am about Playboy. Playboy I'm actually quite proud of.

Occasionally if you do something extraordinary, the crew responds with spontaneous applause, but that's very rare.

Actually ninety-nine percent of my acting has nothing to do sci-fi or fantasy, I consider it a good part of my acting, and enjoy the roles I play.

Cooking is great, love is grand, but souffles fall and lovers come and go. But you can always depend on a book!

I really just dabble in music; I really just did a few albums for my fans.

I think in the old days, films really went for the shock, with the blood and guts, but movies are getting better. The writing and directing have improved a lot, because the audience demands it.

The people who do the scoring and the music for movies are very talented, really special people.

Nowhere else have I grown more in my faith than in the midst of my family.

I like to get my hands dirty. Talk is cheap.

In France, a woman may forget that she is neither young nor handsome; for the absence of these claims to attention does not expose her to be neglected by the male sex.

I'm not against gifts that entertain, but I really believe that some of the most valuable gifts that we can give are the things that help us to develop a skill and be entertaining.

I happened to be one of those guys who doesn't play much golf.

The players on the team are the reason why we win. You don't have to treat them all identically; they're not going to be all the same. Your ability to lead and motivate those guys differently is important.

There also is the plight that comes from natural disasters; these natural disasters could be alleviated or dealt with; we only need some time to do it.

I went to art school when I was little.

The ideology of the Smashing Pumpkins was ultimately more valuable than the music of the Smashing Pumpkins. That's what critics can't put their finger on.

Before digital and mobile communications effectively tethered us to an invisible, infinite 'wire,' even those with the most hectic schedules were usually willing to answer the phone if they happened to be home when it rang.

Long hair is an unpardonable offense which should be punishable by death.

Certain things happened in the early church. Women who had never had any freedom suddenly have the ability to stand up and speak and be treated as equals within the life of the church.

I never wear leather.

Songs are really interesting in that way. Sometimes, they grow with you. Sometimes, you outgrow them.

I see music as an aid. It overcomes my internal editor, especially when the music evokes the character or the mood I'm trying to build.

Aren't people supposed to do movies so that they can get girls?

I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures.

Yeah, I had a tremendous time shooting in Nebraska. I like that state a lot, all over it.

You know... the only person I really had to please after a point was the MPAA. Because Lions' Gate was like, hey, whatever you can get away with is fine, we don't care.

Songwriting is best. It's the hardest finest tightest. It also requires the most discipline.

When I was in high school, I had a notebook that I filled up with rules about lying. It must have been a hundred pages long - one hundred pages of rules about lying!

I enjoy hanging out with friends, going on hikes and playing tennis. I also enjoy Bible study and making dinners. I have a pretty mellow life away from the water.

I am legendary.

The camera is no more an instrument of preservation the image is.
