Timing has always been a key element in my life. I have been blessed to have been in the right place at the right time.
I'm not the kind of actor that gets crazy with [directors'] names, what draws me toward a project is the material itself.
I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.
I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.
You shall love. Whether you like it or not.
A part of being an actor is I people watch. I like to observe their behaviour, watch their reactions on the street and see how they talk to each other, and that's impossible when they are looking back at you. I used to enjoy taking the train and watching people in their own minds, struggling with themselves.
I'm a great believer in stunt doubles. They do an amazing job.
I should figure out why I'm so much more interested in doing something that I think is really hard. But, somehow, the thing that is hard for me feels more noble.
If no God, mankind is a set of bi-pedal carbon units of mostly water. And nothing else
I would say that for the sake of human progress, the best thing we could possibly do would be to diminish, to the point of eliminating, religious faiths. But certainly not eliminating the natural yearnings of our species or the asking of these great questions.
Our courage comes from the courage of others.
