"Le propre des hommes forts n'est pas d'ignorer les hésitations et les doutes qui sont le fonds commun de la nature humaine, mais seulement de les surmonter plus rapidement." -Les rois maudits

"Everyone say secrets keep us close. It's wrong. They tear us apart."

"Rien n'est plus triste que la mort d'une illusion."

"You wanna change but you don't know how. Take my power and both your hands and get your life back. I can feel your pain, I know it cripples you but pain can be a motivator. Pain is a call to action. Pain is essential, just like anger is. Take pain in one hand, and anger in the other. Use them. "

One of my biggest superstitions is to never speak about the future out loud. Let's just say I got a lot out there and I hope to keep on going.

It is the artist's business to create sunshine when the sun fails.

I should just stay composed and run to the finish line.

The biggest challenge I have with Washingtonians is they think Illinois is exclusively a Democratic state.

Initially I had intended to study medicine, but before going to University I had decided that I would be better suited to a career in which I could concentrate my activities and interests more on a single goal than appeared to be possible in my father's profession.

I always hold doors open, I always try to be nice.

Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.

At that point, I sat down and made an alphabetical list of all the crime related words I could think of. So here I am now, nearly half-way through, probably tied up until the year 2015 or SO.

People in uniform are not sacrosanct. They don't have all the answers. The use of force is a political decision at its core, in terms of its objectives; then the military, as the experts, must be brought in to tell you how to do it.

Even better, there were established two separate committees deciding on state film funding.

Nobody thought I would be a great coach.

I have to say, it was fun doing this 'Love Letter' album because, hey, man, love has never failed. It has won every battle. And today and forevermore, it will go on undefeated. I'm also a very loving person.

When I read 'Fantastic Beasts,' the world that J. K. Rowling has created is so wonderful.

I believe in nourishment and having a balanced diet. I avoid bingeing and try and eat healthy, especially lots of amla, and drink lots and lots of water.

A man may do worse than make what the world calls a not wholly happy marriage.

I want to act for the rest of my life - and I also want to pursue directing. Watching Bill Condon direct 'Twilight' kind of made me think, 'OK yeah, I really want to do this now.' This idea that you can make an image in your head and be in full control of how it comes out - I thought that was really cool.

When I was about ten years old, I gave my teacher an April Fool's sandwich, which had a dead goldfish in it.

Every marriage is a mystery to me, even the one I'm in. So I'm no expert on it.

For me, everything that you're passionate about always comes with a little pain. That's how life is, and that's how I want to live it. I don't want it to be balanced and ordinary.

Every project is an opportunity to learn, to figure out problems and challenges, to invent and reinvent.

My idea is to bring out the inner child that my generation has inside, which does not go to sleep because of so much angst over the day-to-day routine. With so much going on, you start tuning out emotions and surprises.

My parents are my role models. All they've done for me, they're just major people in my life. They've stood by me and got me where I am today.
