I don't take films to prove my talent and receive critical acclaim or awards.

If you spend a week at a casino you will very easily see that people have a certain way of behaving in a casino.

You weren't going to the theater to change the world, but you had a chance to affect the world, the thinking and the feelings of the world.

You know I am an actor, and I have medals for diction.

It strengthens the acting muscles to tap into other parts of yourself. When you can accomplish something that's unexpected, for you as well as the audience, that's really important. It's also very...

I feel incredibly fortunate I walked away, took care of other business, and then came back to show business.

I love zombies, and I love playing zombie-killing video games, so I was always super into the zombies, seeing how it all works and seeing the blood everywhere. I love that kind of stuff.

It makes no sense that this country has 11 million workers feeding, building this country, making America what it is, and they don't share the same rights of those who are consuming the fruit of their...

I have no idea what goes through people's heads when they first see me. 'Wow!' or 'Ugh!' More 'Wow!' I hope.

I really feel that New York City is the greatest city in the world.

If I like a script, I will definitely pick films of different genres, but I won't do something just for the sake of it.

It takes time to love someone properly, and in this business, you get very wary of people.

I like to see how I can do it for less money.

'Pale Fire' by Vladimir Nabokov was bloody hard work but really thrilling.

I have a specialized racing bike, which is great because it has a solid build, is comfortable to ride, and is lightweight.

I can totally understand why someone would be like, 'All you do is make videos in your room and show people what you do in your life. How is that entertaining?' I can totally understand what they mean...

In 'Laurence Anyways,' Nathalie Baye is Laurence's mother, and she is quite an awful mother. Still, she is the only one in the end who truly accepts her daughter.

The actors I admire are character actors.

It's funny, though, with films, because you can incorporate a variety of elements, and sometimes that can work for you and sometimes I think it can work against you.

I would love to do a 'Vicky Donor' kind of movie.

Every actor wants to be versatile; everyone wants to do something different.

Perhaps not unusually for a popular film produced over three decades ago, there have been a dizzying parade of corporate characters trading rights to 'This Is Spinal Tap' through the years. Yet our...

I have a way of synthesizing. That's what I would encourage any young person to do: take in the ideas, the conflicts, and the world. Watch and listen and live before you go public.

Embrace your differences and the qualities about you that you think are weird. Eventually, they're going to be the only things separating you from everyone else.

Just because I don't show six-pack abs doesn't mean that I don't have them.

I'm just dealing with what's happening, with what is. Joy, happiness, good, bad, all those terms are meaningless to me.

Now, there doesn't have to necessarily be a white man in the lead role. That's the way forward. That's diversity. It's cool if an Indian is playing the lead role in a Hollywood project, and we should...

A distant cousin sent me some genealogy report on my father's side, and it's sort of what I suspected. Coal miners for generations... four or maybe five generations.

That's why the role that I have on 'Grey's Anatomy' is important to me, because it's a human being. He doesn't have to wear race on his sleeve; he doesn't even have to talk about it. We just lead by...

My work is my break. It takes me to different parts of the world, and I get to meet different people.
