All you have to do is just believe in what's there; then, the audience will, too
Of course I was a dork, but that's OK. Because all the coolest people I know were dorks.
To swing or not to swing? Swing.
I mean, it was a mummy movie. It was a good film independent of its source. It that looks like Lawrence of Arabia on steroids in a lot of ways.
You can't see any movie nowadays really without it having some sort of CGI treatment, albeit whether it's a creature or an environment, something like that. To make a point, sort of poetically in that case, but clearly it was a drama and how do you approach it? Well, I think what you're supposed to do is what the text dictates. What you bring to it and everything you need to know should be there, and pay attention to your director.
I wish I could go home. I've been on the road since May. I wonder if my dogs still remember me

Most people go, I wish for world peace. But chaos has a place in balancing out the light and the dark in the world. I don't know if I would wish for world peace.
I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that's the basis of Greek mythology.
I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for.
As a young man I prayed for success. Now I just pray to be worthy of it.
They had a hard time miking me in my loin cloth . . . I mean, where were they gonna tape it?
