No man can see God in this life and live because His glory would annihilate our poor, weak human nature.
Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way round.
I've never been with a losing team in my life, and I don't think I'll start now.
The threat to free television. The reason television is free is because it is a life support system for commercials. That fundamental aspect is about to change.
I have spent most of my adult life proving that I existed. A blog is an accessible way of doing this - there is a date and place in cyberspace that I existed a year ago, to the day, and the proof is still there.
There's more to life than movies.
People try to make a Greek tragedy of my life, and they can't do it. I'm too happy.

Sometimes I wonder if suicides aren't in fact sad guardians of the meaning of life.
I've been very physical my whole life. I went out hiking and camping for days in the Australian forest, and when I trained at drama school for three years, we did a whole lot on stage-fighting techniques. And I was a dancer from 5 to 18, so I have a memory for choreography.
As an Asian actor, I would like once in my life to do just one Hollywood movie. It would be a memorable experience.

Any one who believes that any great enterprise of an industrial character can be started without labor must have little experience of life.
I live my life with positivity, so even if there was a low, I'd find a positive in the situation. It's how I am with everything in life. With acting, I don't love the celebrity side of it and the tabloids, but at the end of the day, I love what I do so much, it overrides all that.
My career is an open book, but my life is not.
'The Tree of Life' is a collection of conversations that lost souls and true believers have with themselves while keeping their heads to the sky. But the movie is church via the planetarium.
I never grew up thinking the goal in life was to be a millionaire. All the way through college, I had a part-time job. I worked hard to get the things that you need at that age.

Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
I wasn't close to my father, but I wanted to be all my life. He had a funny sense of humor, and he laughed all the time - good and loud, like I do. He was a gay Irish gentleman and very good-looking. And he wanted to be close to me, too, but we never had much time together.

Neither a life of anarchy nor one beneath a despot should you praise; to all that lies in the middle a god has given excellence.

It is not a life at all. It is a reticence, in three volumes.
I try to combine my work with my family, that's what I aspire to. I don't say that's the only thing. It's not all work and family, because otherwise you would be saying no to the many other things in life and there are many other things.
