Even bad men love their mommas.

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.

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

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

I respond in the moment which is what makes me a good actor.

You don't want to be starting a film not knowing what you want to do.

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

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.

I hate having long hair. It's like walking around with a dead koala on your back!

I am a man that has a lot of respect for faith and spirituality. I think it is important that we talk about religion in today's world.

You can't understand it until you experience the simple joy of the first time your son points at a seagull and says 'Duck!'

Do I think Cate Blanchett is the most spectacular creature that ever walked the planet? Yes, I do.

I have to believe I got some kind of say over our lives.
