Allthough that doesn't happen often lately, I like to read exciting thrillers and those kinky magazines.

I am the farthest thing from a computer genius.

I attended a very small junior high and specially in the end that became a disaster. The principal was pretty senile and a drunk, so the children more or less runned the school.

I would like to direct in the future, but I am in no hurry with that.

However, I hope I am also judged on my accomplishments as an actor and not just on my pretty face!

I don't like being told someone's interpretation of something that I do.

I do remember that I was sitting in the make-up chair before the shoots for a commercial or film or other, and I thought: Sometime soon they are going to make a close-up of me and millions of people can see how many pimples I've got on my cheeks.

I think it's all about how much you love, understand and can relate to the material you are given.

I do look forward to doing things in the future that I haven't done before. Do you know what I have always dreamt about? Playing a serial killer!

My mother is my manager and so knows exactly what I do and so on.

And sometimes I sit down to write, because that is what I like to do more and more in the future.

Because the series is situated in the next century, and for the most part under water, there are many innovative technical gadgets. It's a kind of StarTrek. When I first came there, I was really impressed myself.

It's of course understandable that people want to know about actors in their favourite series.

I think that my biggest role models are people that have maybe struggled for a while and then finally gotten to their destination.

I mean, I try to say the right things and give the right advice. But still, I'm only a person.

Roy Schneider was cool. I learned quite a bit from him.

As an actor you have one great fear: pimples!

Furthermore I will just have to see what the future will bring me. But a change of food whets the appetite.

One time I can stand fiddling in front of the mirror for an hour and another time I think: well hack, this is just the best it can get. Only if I have to go to work I really try to look fantastic.

I like strong girls, as long as they don't get snappish. And furthermore I think it important that you are good buddies and she does not get angry when you don't have your day.

When you're young, you should live out every weekend. Even if you look like a scarecrow, you just gotta go!

I want to be remembered as an actor who put in some good work in the beginning of his career, even better work at the end of his career and slowly, successfully made the transition into writing and directing.

I want to direct, I want to be part of something creative, something with quality.

My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself.

My friends would probably describe me as silly. And honest. And that I think about things a bit too much.

Given what I do to my characters, I'm not sure I'd want to meet any of them.

I think it's really important to stay active, even when you're very busy. I know it can get hectic and hard to find time, but make that time because you owe it to yourself.

Women are at last becoming persons first and wives second, and that is as it should be.

I am a self-critical perfectionist.

You are the closest I will ever come to magic.

No one in the United States has become seriously ill or has died because of any kind of accident at a civilian nuclear power plant.

I'm the little dog who goes the wrong way - under the hoop.

To me, I've never understood why there is any question about are women as funny as men.

I think I have met nearly all the Laureates in Economics. Among the few I haven't met, I suppose I'd most like to meet Ronald Coase because of his legendary power to persuade his colleagues of the validity of the Coase Theorem.

Wildness is the preservation of the world.

What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.

I think the way it works is that when you're casting a movie, you usually want to work with people that you believe in.

We definitely weren't poor growing up, but we weren't rich.

I have always been far more interested in sound than technique, and how sounds work together, how they can be layered. I think electronic music, in its infancy anyway, allowed us to create music in a way that hadn't really been possible before. It created a new kind of musician.

A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.

After I had this idea to be Bill Nye the Science Guy, I wore straight ties the first couple times, and then I got this thing going and I started wearing bow ties.

I acted my heart out.

Change your beliefs and you’ll change your thoughts. Change your thoughts and you’ll change your habits. Change your habits and your life opens to unlimited possibility.

When I first watched 'Coraline,' I thought, 'If that ever got adapted...' If it was done by real actors, I think that would be a really fun thing to do, just because it's a kind of whole new universe.

I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.

I don't blame anybody for using the tax code to their advantage.

With any show, when fans come up to you, they assume you're just like your character.
