The purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free.

I'm a lawyer. The right to life is important.

I never want to sit out. I want to play baseball games.

Happy he stands, happy he sits, happy sleeps, and happy he comes and goes. Happy he speaks and happy he eats. This is the life of a man at peace.

I'd like a relationship that was like two tree trunks side by side, strong but independent.

The way of life is not as easy as some people think... like me.

I like to sing very much.

Drax isn't your average stereotypical soldier/warrior/musclehead. He actually has some depth. It was a character that I wanted to play, not only because I love acting so much, but also, I needed to play to get people to actually take me seriously as an actor and get away from the pro wrestling label.

Nope, no sex scandals yet. But I am open to offers!

I like contemporary American literature and I like biographies and I like jazz and I like baseball and I like writers who write about the human condition and sci-fi is just something that I happened into.

Bose and Einstein had triggered low-temperature experiments that have led to the discovery of new matter. I owe my work and my Nobel to them.

I haven't worn jewelry since one of the front teeth I had made into an earring became no longer necessary because I lost the ear.

So many large movies come to you with a huge marketing campaign and it's like you have to see this movie this weekend, otherwise you'll be culturally bankrupt and can't converse with your friends.

To cement a new friendship, especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world, a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person, and cut across the accidents of place and time.

I do not think it possible for anyone to get by in life without prejudice. However, the attempt to do so leads many people to suppose that, in order to decide any moral question, they have to find an indubitable first principle from which they can deduce an answer.

I don't plot my books rigidly, follow a preconceived structure. A novel mustn't be a closed system - it's a quest.

If you make action movies, the critics will savage you, and then your movies are outdated the following week with the new wave of special effects.

What could be more serious than the love of man for woman what more commanding more impressive bearing in its bosom the seeds of death at the same time these lovers these people entering into illusion glittering eyed must be danced round with mockery decorated with garlands.

I don't regard television as the outside world. I regard it as an artefact.

Rock and roll is about desire, about wanting something better. I think my characters all want something better. My understanding of the rock and roll dream is that a kid in an isolated place or a small town or an underprivileged world could transcend it somehow.
