I find it difficult to watch myself... I find it boring.
When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.
There's no mystery to it. Nothing more complicated than learning lines and putting on a costume.
As you grow in this business, you learn how to do more with less.
The accident was a horrible thing - but that horrible thing made Chris, at the end of his life, Superman. It's a happy irony if there is such a thing. I'm proud to have known him.
I've always been a fan of or desired to or responded to variety. I like variety in life, so variety in work is a must.

How are we going to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it!
Your job is always the same if it's a juggernaut or if it's just one of these little jewels of a film that's gonna wind up at the Laemmle or something, so your job doesn't change whatsoever... give it your best shot.
I always knew that someone was going to come at me with a script to play God. It's just one of those things, the way your career is unfolding and all the talk about gravitas etc etc, so I had a strong feeling that someone was going to offer me the part of God. I was totally prepared to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' unless it was a comedy.
Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.
But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.
The public feels that if it's on the Internet and you can access it, you deserve it. You haven't committed any kind of crime. We may even have to rename piracy. But in any case, we have to confront it.
