You have to feel the bad to be able to feel the good.

I've mainly been in dramas, so this is one of my first comedy kind of performances in Cecil B. Demented.

Vampires to me have always been very sexy.

They're trying to beat out this movie, the Ring, which is a similar idea. Our movie is about a website you visit and die in three days. Their movie is about a videotape you watch - and die in three days.

Nuclear arms is pretty scary because that could end the world. I'm more interested in that stuff than I am Bill Clinton. I mean, I think Bill Clinton is a good president.

I play guitar and I love the Beatles and melodic music.

I guess what I learned the most was to feel lucky with what I have been able to accomplish and what I have and to feel humble about the people I have been able to work with.

That's the danger of having too much success. You lose that magic, that feeling of not being in control, which I feel now, it's too controlled.

I've read some scripts, but I don't read as many books as I should.

I wouldn't want to do a whole movie with effects.

Yes, I definitely plan to direct at some point.

You have to feel the bad to be able to feel the good.

I started acting before that when I was about 13 or 14.

I think acting is only one part of the piece of the movie. I'ts an important piece, but I'd like to be involved in all the other aspects of making movies.

It used to be you did TV or you did film. Now it's like a media blitz.

I liked getting the best villain award. I thought that was funny.

Basically, at some point, one day maybe you can expect to hear some of my music. I haven't really done that yet because my younger brother is a musician and really talented and I want him to come out with his music first.

I don't want to just be in the normal kind of teen movie.

But, I didn't get my first break until I was 17.

Carrot Top is a nickname that people call me and I thought that it was more marketable.

I'm not a romantic lead. I have sticking-out ears and a little troll nose.

I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.

Some respected and beloved brethren insist that the forming and organising of churches is, according to God's will, the only means of finding blessing in the midst of that confusion which is acknowledged to exist.

If someone is going to criticize what you've written and you believe in what you've written then you should respond.

Single moms: You are a doctor, a teacher, a nurse, a maid, a cook, a referee, a heroine, a provider, a defender, a protector, a true Superwoman. Wear your cape proudly.

We have this myth that if you work hard, you can accomplish anything. It's not a very American thing to say, but I don't think that's true. It's true for a lot of people, but you need other things to succeed. You need luck, you need opportunity, and you need the life skills to recognize what an opportunity is.

I went to national piano competitions and did that whole circuit. Then I played professionally to support myself when I moved out to LA.

When an actor has money, he doesn't send letters, but telegrams.

I think I felt at some point that I couldn't understand poetry or that it was beyond me or it didn't speak to my experience. I think that was because I hadn't yet found the right poems to invite me in.

For me, the most effective cabaret evenings have been some of the most personal ones, where the performer is comfortable enough to simply be themselves.

Having done 'Misfits' for three years solid, you become known for doing one thing, so I've wanted to change things up as much as possible with each job.

He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

The air we breathe is still free but for how much time. I believe someone is busy patenting it to start selling it for profit

I think a lot of times we don't pay enough attention to people with a positive attitude because we assume they are naive or stupid or unschooled.

I was real into Devo, Pavement, Captain Beefheart, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

He wasn't really Method but he believed that when you did a role there were lots of things you could do with your co-star in order to create the right environment. You known, if you were supposed to be in love, to create that feeling between the two of you.

There is no brilliant single stroke that is going to transform the water into wine or straw into gold.

Where all men think alike, no one thinks very much.

I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.

I like to serve chocolate cake because it doesnt show the dirt.

I do condition my hair with honey and beer. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards, but it's very good for the hair.

Denzel Washington is a big Hollywood movie star now. But he started out as an actor in the Negro Ensemble company.
