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

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.

I'm more into, like, colour than, like, the type of car and stuff. I don't know much about cars, so I'm just more into picking the right color.

Keep your standards even when everyone around you is losing theirs.

The minute you're born, you're getting older.

If the acting don't work out, I'll have a future in construction.

There is nothing wrong with listening. You can listen to people; you can hear people's concerns. You can keep an open mind and still be perfectly strong.

I didn't fail the test. I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.

Fines are preferable to imprisonment and other types of punishment because they are more efficient. With a fine, the punishment to offenders is also revenue to the State.

It's nice to create a character, not just within two scenes, but within the journey of a whole movie. It's fun to do that.

Leadership does not depend on being right.

It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do. We hire smart people and they tell us what to do.

Judging from what looks like the popularity of this classic wrestling show is that the people like what they have grown to know and love here in Memphis.

The world depends on fungi, because they are major players in the cycling of materials and energy around the world.

But people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I'm not perfect.

I've always tried to expand what heavy or loud music was and where it can go and what it can do.

I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned.

I can see my work as a job. I do it for money. I likely already look forward to the weekend on Thursdays. And I probably will need a hobby as a leveling mechanism. In a career, I'm definitely more engaged. But at the same time, there will be periods when I think, 'Is all that really hard work really worth my while?'

Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.

If you are messing around all day and then scream for certainty, you're not going to get it. If you spend energy and do the work and develop that certainty, you'll get to where you need to be, even if you don't know exactly where that is.

A lot of my friends in my student days complained about how their parents made them play an instrument when they were kids. I always felt compassion for them and didn't believe a parent could be so cruel, but when I check today, those complaining friends grew up to be quite successful, and many of them are now making their children play.

If you're trying to write something that you don't understand and embrace at the very core of you, it's not going to turn out with quite the authenticity and passion it should have.

You got to have people at the top who respond to and are selected by presidents.

I am not one who - who flamboyantly believes in throwing a lot of words around.

Dogma in power does have a unique chilling ingredient not exhibited by power however ghastly wielded for its own traditional sake.

I've tried to stay out of the frame more as a director.
