I covered my face because they had taken my wisdom teeth out.

I have a long way to catch up. I have to start with the pros this year, about 20 seconds back.

I was invited to a couple of races, but I was doing a play in New York.

I gotta make money - it all tends to disappear in this field.

I covered my face because they had taken my wisdom teeth out.

'W.' is not necessarily a political film, but it was sort of a contrasting reality for me to get into George W. Bush as a character because of how I felt about his administration before I started making the film.

Football? Forget it. I didn't have that thing inside me where I wanted to smash against somebody and watch them break. I was too sensitive for that and disliked being that sensitive.

George W. Bush brought a lot of minorities into his administration, which was a positive thing, and they had some issues that they wanted to press, but 9/11 really gave them direction. It gave them a purpose.

I got picked on a lot. I was a complete geek in school. I had braces. I didn't have the hot girlfriend. I wasn't ever sought after. I was a stocky, awkward kid who got laughed off the tennis court when I tried that.

I have to tell you, you can't have an ego when you're an actor. A lot of actors have them, but in reality most of those people are just sensitive artists dying for a hug and a compliment.

I love the competitive part of stocks. A lot of fear and greed, that's all it is. All I see is green and red.

I only took a high school acting class because there was no other class I wanted to take. I loved it, but I was always against acting as a profession. I didn't like the monetary fluctuations I saw.

I remember at the premiere of my second movie I started crying. I thought, I'm so bad that I either have to stop this and do something else or learn what I'm doing.

I used to go to Vegas and play the horses, and then I realised how ridiculous that was. There is no winning in gambling, but there is on the stock market.

I'm really, really lucky. I was given my dad's good genes.

I'm very happy to be involved with great filmmakers.

I've been given an amazing opportunity and I could not be more grateful. But I also know that all this will eventually die off. It's not real. It will go away and then you'll go away and then, I don't know, I'll be left sitting in some English hotel room.

It takes me 10 minutes to get ready to go out, and that includes the shower.

It's probably a bit of a power trip when you befriend somebody enough that they trust you to tell you things.

Look, I'm going to take full advantage of this situation just because I love working with great filmmakers. But I've been around for a while, and I'm not going to play into the hype that I'm some great, you know, discovery.

Suddenly, I'm in movies that people are excited about, and that is a nice change.

The last really expensive trip we took was so uncomfortable. It's so lazy. I want somebody to give me a great $30 massage as opposed to a bad $265 massage.

The next couple of jobs will determine, at least from a business point of view, if I'm a guy who's actually the real thing or I'm a guy who's had a nice moment.

The only way change will ever happen is if we speak up, and we have to know that it actually has an impact. Because we have a lot more power than we think we do, I think.

To complain now would be kind of sad. I like the way things are going.

When I was in jail I could only think about what the average person has to go through - the person who has no power to go to the press or no money to hire a lawyer.

You have to be okay with wins and losses. You can't just be looking for the wins and, when the losses happen, you can't buy more and more because you're sure it's going to bounce. We call that revenge trading.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?

To light one candle to God and another to the Devil is the principle of wisdom.

I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.

Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two.

Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom.

More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us.

Wisdom is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two.

The clouds may drop down titles and estates, and wealth may seek us, but wisdom must be sought.

Books should to one of these fours ends conduce, for wisdom, piety, delight, or use.

Follow the wisdom of the great actor, James Cagney, you hit your mark, you look the other guy in the eye, and you tell the truth.

Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.

A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.

It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.

To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.

The most important lesson of New Labour is this: Every time we made progress we did it by challenging the conventional wisdom.

I've always shied away from conventional wisdom, though I know the power of it.

Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles.

Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.

Wisdom finds its literary expression in wisdom literature.
