I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.
God has been good to me. My faith has been good to me in the moments of deepest suffering, doubt and fear.
Actors have an innate sense of self and humanity, the good ones do, and of being generous of heart and generous of spirit.
I was aware that I was not getting the good acting roles because I was either too handsome, too pretty or whatever. I was being judged in ways that left me nowhere to go. You have to be patient.
Intrinsically, I'm the same person I was as a young lad, and I think I still have the optimism of life, still the same wants and desires to be good and great about what I do.
I know what it's like to be famous. It's good money and it's great fun. A real kick in the pants. People wave at you and smile at you. You get great tables in restaurants. They send you gifts - beautiful clothes and cars.
It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
The word 'star' doesn't mean an awful lot to me. 'Good actor' and having the respect of one's peers means more.
Be good to people, be kind to people, show up, read the lines, hit the mark, and go home.
I think Buddhism is a wonderful philosophy. I've had the good fortune to meet many wonderful teachers from that society.
He has an intensity, and a great voice. He's very fearless, and he's got a good body of work in the cinema already. They wanted to make a shift, play with more character.
I think you make the best with what you've got, you know? Sometimes you have very little. And you just always try to rise to higher ground, because you're going to suffer one way or the other, so you just hope that you have strength and perseverance and good friends and faith, some kind of faith, to endure and move on to greener pastures.
I've been identified with James Bond or Thomas Crown for so long; suave, elegant, sophisticated men in suits. it's like you've been giving the same performance for 20 years.
I use so much of myself in everything I do. I think every actor does because you have no one else to go to but yourself and your own imagination.
