Enjoy every moment.

Enjoy every moment.

I was used to playing misled youth, rough-and-tumble guys. It was nice to get back to a big-hearted, warm and gentle soul, a guy who is destined for something a lot larger than he ever expected.

My sisters and mom raised me to respect women and open doors for them.

I'm tough on the outside and soft on the inside... I'm really a shy guy.

I'm happy to be on a show that's bridging that gap of 'Okay, I'm not a teenager anymore, I'm a man.'

I'm a homebody, I'd rather be in the kitchen cooking than hanging out in a bar.

You have to pay attention to the work on the page and make it as good as possible because it could be your last.

I just try not to subscribe to the ways of celebrity. I'm not a celebrity, I'm a working actor. A lot of the events - the parties and the premieres that people go to to get noticed - I'm just not into. I'll hang out with my friends, go see punk shows, read at home. At the same time, I have a production company, which is a lot of work.

I'd love to hold a koala. They sleep 22 hours a day, eat eucalyptus leaves and just hang out. I want to spend some time with that guy.

Sometimes I'm an ass, sometimes I'm sweet as peaches.

On one foot you limp; on two feet you sprint.

I'd dearly love to write a political book that changed the hearts and minds of men and women.

I usually plan to read a book for a half-hour before bed, but then I end up staying awake until 3 A.M. to finish it. Fortunately, my dog doesn't mind when I keep the bedside lamp on.

We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.

Change your attitude to 'I'll see it when I believe it' - not the other way around.

I think he is an entertainer. I would prefer if he were a performer.

Encyclopedias are finished. All encyclopedias combined, including the redoubtable Britannica, have already been surpassed by the exercise in groupthink known as Wikipedia.

I still have shy qualities but nobody would believe that, just because we're in the forefront and I can talk a lot of mess and I can run my mouth.

For when any one explains himself guardedly nothing is more uncivil than to put a new question.

Crime fiction makes money. It may be harder for writers to get published, but crime is doing better than most of what we like to call CanLit. It's elementary, plot-driven, character-rich story-telling at its best.

There's basically an element of fiction in everything you remember. Imagination and memory are almost the same brain processes. When I write fiction, I know that I'm using a bunch of lies that I've made up to create some form of truth. When I write a memoir, I'm using true elements to create something that will always be somehow fictionalized.

And sometimes to help them we have got to help ourselves.

Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation.

There is no rule that says a footballer needs to be 'this high' and 'this wide.'

If work was a good thing, the rich would have it all and not let you do it.

The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that's what's happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.

My interest in words and literature is always changing. And every day of work is different, and it doesn't feel laborious in the way that, say, washing dishes did. I'm quite happy to be doing what I'm doing, and I feel very lucky.

History will not judge HIV/AIDS kindly... the harshest words will be reserved for how the world responded, or rather failed to respond, to the epidemic.

I still don't like authority exercised without reason. But they laugh at you at Cambridge if you say that sort of thing. For them, the law is a system of rules not that different from mathematics.

It's so easy to become obsessed with the film industry and recognition that we can forget that we are not saving the world. We are just actors trying to entertain people.

A supermodel is kind of that first-name recognition, but I'm not quite ready for that super part yet, and I'm afraid that by the time I am, I'm going to be too old anyway.

Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.

Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer physics dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time.

Being deeply knowledgeable on one subject narrows one's focus and increases confidence, but it also blurs dissenting views until they are no longer visible, thereby transforming data collection into bias confirmation and morphing self-deception into self-assurance.
