I'm blessed with the fact that I'm a fighter. I've always known life was meant to be joyful.

I've learned to lose with a smile on my face. That's what the Oscar teaches you.

Filmmaking like any other art is a very profound means of human communication beyond the professional pleasure of succeeding or the pain of failing you do want your film to be seen to communicate itself to other people.

The worst is when I talk myself into something. Sometimes you take things because you want to work with a certain actor, or you want to work with a director, even if the script or the part's not that great.

I feel like a total hippie right now. I'm passionate about all sorts of things - a lot of boring, cuddly Hallmark things, to be honest.

In all human affairs there are efforts and there are results and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.

But who cares? I can honestly look back and realize that everything happened for a reason. Everything that fell apart has fallen back into place beautifully and magically.

Most films I work on, the people making the film are constantly second-guessing the executives of the studio, the producer, and the audience. It is very hard to accomplish anything in that situation.

All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged.

There are works of literature whose influence is strong but indirect because it is mediated through the whole of the culture rather than immediately through imitation. Wordsworth is the case that comes to mind.

Doing nothing is very hard to do...you never know when youre finished.

My summer jobs for three years were going to work in my dad's factory and earn a bit of pocket money. I absolutely loved it, and I think I learnt more there than I did at Cambridge, actually, in terms of how hard work is and how tough it is finding a job, keeping a job, managing a job and family and commitments outside of work.

If you kick a stone in anger you will hurt your foot.

On the market, all is harmony. But as soon as intervention appears and is established, conflict is created, for each may participate in a scramble to be a net gainer rather than a net loser - to be part of the invading team instead of one of the victims.

When I'm upset, everyone knows about it, and it's a selfish trait because everyone suffers.

In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from second place. It takes desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose?

I don't do husbands. I don't do children.

When you interview celebrities, they're so guarded so many times, they can't reveal anything.

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Patients are empowered by having better access to their own health information, and then by owning their own data.

Poker is a charismatic game. People who are larger than life play poker and make their living from playing games and hustling.

The cliche of what a rock star is - there's something elitist about it. I never related to that. I'm an entertainer. I think of it as, you're performing for people. It's not a self-glorification thing.

I'm someone who likes plowing new ground, then walking away from it. I get bored easily. For me, the big thrill comes with the discovering.

Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.
