I think there's a down-to-earthness with Midwesterners and with people from the Midlands - which is where my family is from - in Ireland.
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
I think we all have to ask ourselves, as leaders, do we have the right processes in place for complaints to be filed and for people to feel protected?
And I think that the environment is one very strong way to counterbalance the chaotic nature of our life.
I think a lot of romanticizing has gone on with the women's movement.
I think, to me, reality is better than being fake.
I think that we are already making steps toward mapping out the brain so we can identify the chemical patterns that create and store memory.
I think you can really tell a good actor if you can put a camera on them and they can just talk and emote and react and you don't have to keep cutting away from them, because they are the language and the behavior. It's all a tour-de-force performance.
I think that... I would say that sometimes people get afraid of when you're balancing comedy and drama.
The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire.
I think I was always obsessed with esthetics.
I think there are few things more patriotic than taking the time to make your country a better place.
I think the reason that I like so many different games is because I like the way my brain works when I'm playing games. It's more fun.
The millennial generation in the US is the first that has reduced expectations from those of their parents. And I think there is something decadent and declinist about that.
Socially, I think I'm quite comfortable; I enjoy chatting to people... but I do have my quirks.
Wouldn't it be great if we just ended up tied? I think it would be beautiful.
I'm a true believer in story. I think when you just tell people to think, people tend to get resistant and defensive and feel like you're accusing them of not thinking.
We just decided to pick the date 'The Matrix' opened in most of the world. At the end of the day, it worked out really great because the world seems to have got to a place where I think the movie is even more relevant now than it was several months ago.
I think one of the mistakes actors make is we're so focused on what we're going to say.
But I think that's a particular kind of experience involving a certain immediacy between you and the canvass, you and the particular kind of experience of that particular moment.
I think part of that is to create an environment where it's like real life, where you don't really know what's going to happen to you in a certain scene.
I think a part of me thought that I might be interested in academia because I really do love school. I mean that on all levels - I like educational environments; I like being part of that community of learning and exploration. And I like to talk.
If American women would increase their voting turnout by ten percent, I think we would see an end to all of the budget cuts in programs benefiting women and children.
I think acting has helped me come out of my shell because when I play a character, I can't be self-conscious.
My very first audition was on the lot of Paramount, and I was put on tape and it was very nerve-racking. I think it was about 15 pages.
I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.
I think it's a given that people know what I can do vocally.
I think I'm not a natural-born salesman, for sure, but If I have a product I really believe in, I can overcome some of the shyness and get through the things that aren't natural to me.
I think to a certain extent in Bosnia and among the Hutus in Rwanda and also among the Tutsis in Rwanda who then took revenge on the Hutus, there is a sense of being swept up and a sense that the society in which they live has gone mad.
I think writers tend to be experience junkies, and I think they also tend to want to be on the outside looking in.
When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness.
I think there's a mythology that if you want to change the world, you have to be sainted, like Mother Teresa or Nelson Mandela or Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Ordinary people with lives that go up and down and around in circles can still contribute to change.
That's one of the great lies of intimacy, to pretend you know everything - you cannot. No matter how close you've been, over however many years, there remain secrets. I think we all know that - that you don't tell everybody everything.
It's hard to articulate how I think about myself as a public figure.
I think it's impossible to judge whether another person should come out. You just hope they will on their own time and their own terms.
Although it is generally known, I think it's about time to announce that I was born at a very early age.
