Be your own politics, grow your own garden, and maybe you can help out more.

I honor religion except when it gets into shedding blood.

I've never hit anybody who hasn't clocked me two or three times.

Don't ever humiliate a man. If you're gonna have to dress him out, you take him aside and do it that way. That's the one thing I don't like about Hollywood: They go in for public humiliation. You shouldn't do that to a man.

Let the other guys do the crybaby stuff. Go for the laughs.

You can never turn your back on the ocean.

I used to be friends with Miles Davis. He didn't like many folks. I lived across the street from him.

I think most actors are shy. I really do. The greatest actors can disappear. I had friends call me the Blend-In Man.

Everybody says, 'You impress me as a guy who never wanted to be a movie star.' I say, 'Everybody in the world wants to be a movie star.'

There's always some kind of blacklist throughout history. But the difference is, in America they usually let you live.

If I could just get a piece of lemon, it'd be great.

I've got two old Volvos, two old Subarus, and an old Ford Ranger. If you've got an old car, you've gotta have at least several old cars, 'cause one's always gonna be in the garage.

Anything new is always considered the devil's tool.

When I grew up, people said, 'You'll never be the man your dad was.' And I said, 'Gee, I hope not.'

Never think you're better than anyone else, but don't let anyone treat you like you're worse than they are.

Stripping away artifice - it's the constant standard I aim for in acting, to approximate life. People talk about being bigger than life - but there's nothing bigger than life.

I don't know how racists live with their racism. We need to take the road of love. I don't think folks are born that way; it's learned and taught out of fear.

We were doing mobile games before the iPhone. We were doing free-to-play with 'Quake Live.' We wanted to do massively multiplayer stuff in the early days but didn't have the resources to do it.

All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting to encounter yourself.

Depression is a prison to which you have the key except you never think to look for it.

It's important, according to me, to train in small doses so as to not lose the joy of playing chess. I personally think too many coaching and training classes may take away a child's interest in the game itself. The essential thing to do is practise often and, in case of a doubt, to consult a trainer.

It's not always the case that doing what's right is also doing what's smart, but when it is, the question of 'what to do' should be pretty simple.

I always wanted to be a scientist, I always thought I'd be a scientist, that was the narrative I was carrying around. I worked in a neuroscience lab as an undergraduate and then after, almost five years in total, but I realized I just wasn't good at science. I didn't have the discipline for it.

I know nothing at all about women. They are an amazing, beautiful mystery.

But even with no money you could still go to places like the Scotch Club and, you know, John Lennon might be sitting right over there, but I was certainly not a part of any of that circle. I was truly peripheral.

Giving birth should be your greatest achievement not your greatest fear.

If you start free trade with a Communist country, allow them to develop their own businesses, they don't remain communistic. They become a free society when they're able to make money themselves, and we increase trade with them and allow them to really produce products.

Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.

You seek the heights of manhood when you seek the depths of God.

You watch an old 'Jeopardy!' and the categories alone are very plain. 'Poetry,' or 'Movies,' or 'Physics.' If you watch it now, though, there'll be a theme board where the categories are all Hitchcock movies. Lots more jokes, lots more high-concept categories and questions.
