I was freezing in that loincloth.

I was freezing in that loincloth.

I didn't want to be an actor.

I don't really prepare for each role the same way.

I think you can't be passive in making this film - or in watching it.

In the world we make good as evil and evil as good.

I try to be the best man I can for the day.

Working with Mel Gibson is a little like waltzing with a hurricane. It's always exciting, and you're never quite sure where it's going to take you.

I married a woman who is much better than me, I'm very fortunate to be with her and I know I'll be happy with her the rest of my life.

I do what I do, and I do it well, and focus and take it one moment at a time.

I don't want people to see me - I want them to see Jesus.

You know the actor's nightmare is getting up onstage and not being prepared? I think the writer's nightmare is giving a reading and somebody standing up and saying, 'That's not your story.'

I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age.

If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking.

When I was growing up I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific.

Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike.

It is the public that is illiterate in science and math, a lazy press, and environmental advocacy groups that manufacture fear for misconceptions about energy.

I've been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another.

I always try to make things fun.

'Napoleon Dynamite' blew up my career.

That was the day I began cutting classes and returning to TV tapings; it ultimately led to a friendship with Johnny O, and an increasing fascination and respect for what he did.

Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.

I've always admired teachers for their patience and purpose in choosing their profession.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell was a successful compromise in 1993; and so that compromise should remain.

No, I was never afraid.

On everything I do I'm always taking someone's money, whether it's a movie studio or a record label. Somebody's paying for it, and I'm always respectful of that. But I'm never going to compromise.

It's the perfect definition of a settlement. Both parties didn't get what they wanted.

I feel like a little boy who is constantly offered new toys.

Every character, for me, is a new discovery.

I think there's something about wanting to stand in the spotlight. I think the ball is a spotlight, for example, and I think they want to stand in that. I a lot of times see - LeBron is a guy that vacillates between wanting to do that and then wanting to get somebody else involved.

Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.

With the growing reliance on social media, we no longer search for news, or the products and services we wish to buy. Instead they are being pushed to us by friends, acquaintances and business colleagues.

God’s revelation does not need the light of human genius, the polish and strength of human culture, the brilliancy of human thought, the force of human brains to adorn or enforce it; but it does demand the simplicity, the docility, humility, and faith of a child’s heart.

The whole purpose was to say that it doesn't have to be a zero sum. It's not the environment or jobs. You can have both. You can help the auto industry achieve that if you have investment in plants.

I do like the ladies an awful lot. Surprisingly enough, it turns out ladies like me back; I'm a really good guy.
