I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I’m the container.
Those times in life when you’re terrified are the mastery times.
The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm.
Like most Catholic boys, I wanted to be Jesus Christ. I could never get the turn-the-other-cheek thing down, though.
I don’t think anybody should go through life without a team of psychologists. I have been through times when I’m literally squatting in the living room, having one of those open-throated cries, where you’re crying all the way to your butthole. I always believed I would come out of it, though.
The thing is, I’ve always tried to create transcendent moments. Moments that take people away from their concerns. Heaven to me is when people find a way to become so involved with life that they’re no longer concerned for the future.
Every character is a baby. You can’t choose between them. If you can, you didn’t do your job. You have to fall in love with every character.
It’s time to P-A-R-T-Why? Because I gotta!
Charles Dickens was an incredibly cinematic writer. He wrote this one hundred years before there were movies. He writes very thematically. It is amazing.
Kids need to know they’re the most important thing in the world to you, and if that means quitting your job to prove it, then you have to prove it.
Don’t worry if you miss your cue, because there are always doors opening. They keep opening.
Movie offers are out there for me, I just don’t hear them yet.
I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization works if you work hard. That’s the thing. You can’t just visualize and go eat a sandwich.
Comedic actors can be looked at as a lower form because we have to put ourselves in a lower place than most of the audience. I think lofty emotions are somehow considered more special. The best stories in the world to me are the ones that elicit a real emotion, but have humour.
Everybody expects the fairy tale – you’re going to be together forever with somebody. I don’t really subscribe to that. I’d love that to happen if that happened, but ten years is enough. Ten years is a good thing with somebody, I think. It’s a nice thing. A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
As far as I’m concerned, everything bad that happens in the world stems from the same place, they’re people who don’t feel important.
I don’t hate you for loving you. I just hate my heart for choosing someone like you.
I hate Christmas. I do think it is odd that I have wound up playing these two iconic Christmas haters. It is the same story, in a way. Scrooge is the original Grinch. I think I am perfectly suited, because I have had some dark Christmases.
I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. You seem to prefer the latter.
My psychiatrist says I have a messiah complex. But I forgave him.
