I refuse to be crude and selfish in any way.

My father started me singing in church.

I refuse to be crude and selfish in any way.

I have deep feelings for the welfare and comfort of others.

What I truly miss the most is having sufficient time to do all the things that need to be done around the house and for our friends.

I have considered myself a mature actor.

It was a perfectly average well- adjusted childhood, not a bit unlike that of millions of other individuals.

I am still seeking to become firmly established as an actor.

You see, I was the son of a baptist minister.

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

I have no aspiration whatsoever to be the next great leading man.

I m up at 5 in the morning and in bed by 10 in the evening.

I have been exposed to a great amount of temptation throughout the course of my career.

Star Trek is perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me, in a career sense.

My ambition is peace and perfection.

I had fallen in love with California.

Star Trek has brought so much of what I want within my grasp.

I ran around with the other youngsters, hunting, fishing and raising tadpoles and all the rest.

I once aged 90 years old in one episode.

A good sense of humor will get you everywhere.

I discovered that, in order to write a magnificent piece, you should shoot the images because once you are filming, you are writing the script in your mind.

I grow up in the States, in Miami, but I was born in Guatemala, and my father's Cuban, and in 'Body of Lies,' I played an Iraqi.

Be open-minded and available to everything and not just saying it's Jesus Christ or bust. So much of the world will do that. I find it troubling... Don't be dogmatic.

We got government off the backs of the people of India, particularly off the backs of India's entrepreneurs. We introduced more competition, both internal competition and external competition. We simplified and rationalized the tax system. We made risk-taking much more attractive.

I grew up with a fashion-obsessed mother and an older sister, so there was a lot of fashion in my house. The first thing I remember owning was a Pierre Cardin jumpsuit when I was 9 or 10; of course I didn't actually buy it, but I fell in love with it.

My ideal summer day was reading on the porch.

When you live in New York, one of two things happen - you either become a New Yorker, or you feel more like the place you came from.

I didn't start to work until I realized what it was I had to offer. I stopped imitating performers I admired and started just being myself.

Each member does whatever they want with the song and it totally changes it from whatever idea I hear around it. It turns it into a Sonic Youth song and completely away from it being a solo song.

I still drink a couple of Red Bulls every day.

I was brought up bilingual, but there came a point where my mom went back to work and I got a white babysitter, so sadly I lost it. Now I can understand Spanish and put words together, but I don't speak it fluently. I'm ashamed of that.

Dance like no one is watching, but text, post and email like it will be read in court one day.

Id rather be a rider for a minute than a spectator for a lifetime.

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.

I don’t count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.

If there's a fire, I want to be there. Maybe because in being so close to death, I think I understand what it means to be truly alive.

Almost every time we get together with family or friends, the conversation ends up being about food.

You don't want a whole bunch of yes people around you.

I like any story that starts one place and really takes a huge journey to a whole new place; that people in their life want to take that journey. They want to be able to find things in their life that aren't working and work through them to a new place of change.

There's something really freeing about playing a character that isn't even, like, remotely likeable whatsoever.

I always wanted to be a singer. I was going to finish school and go to Berkley, and then Vine came out, and I felt like I could finally show people my talent. I can even sing in the Vines. It's honestly changed my life. I don't know where I would be right now without it.
