I can rely on me [being a director], unlike some actors. I never got anything less than what I needed from the lead actor.

I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

To be loved, I think, is the thing that gets you up in the morning.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

Iceland is fascinating; really an amazing place to visit, and great for a film to go there.

Reality is, I'm an actor and an entertainer, and I really wouldn't know what to do with another profession.

I'm destined to be attracted to those I cannot defeat.

My days, if they start in the morning with a cuddle from my son, are just so much more glorious than they were prior to that.

When I was a little kid, I used to really embarrass my parents.

My children have never watched any of my films. Charlie knows that daddy makes movies, but he says they are not good enough for him to watch.

Like everyone else, I've had moments when I've felt that I've been losing my grip.

There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad that tie is.

Even bad men love their mommas.

I don't play chess with my life, ya' know.

If I don't get the goose-bump factor when I'm reading it than I can't do it.

I'd like to play passionate women, but no one will let me.

If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility.
