I'm a very tolerant man, except when it comes to holding a grudge.
For a while you get mad, then you get over it.
You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.
Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.
The idea of being a character who is kind of isolated, I can relate to that.
If women ran the world we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.
Most of all, I want to thank my father, up there, the man who when I said I wanted to be an actor, he said, 'Wonderful. Just have a back-up profession like welding.'
Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?
Cricket is basically baseball on valium.
I had sex with a prostitute when I was 21, I was so bad, she gave me a refund.
You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.
Nobody takes a picture of something they want to forget.
The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying, 'Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and yelling, 'You want a piece of me?'
Change is not popular; we are creatures of habit as human beings. 'I want it to be the way it was.' But if you continue the way it was there will be no 'is.'
