My idea is just to do something different each time; the next thing I do has to be completely different to the thing I've done before - that's what I try and do, because you know, I'm an actor, not a film star.
Why do you act? You act for an audience. In the theatre, you're in their presence. Film stars don't know what it is to have an audience.
I think I'm a better filmmaker than actor, so I already know that. That's OK. I can handle not being a famous actor.
Audiences are smarter than ever; they know if filmmakers cheat an environment.
If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.
Attention for children is so much about input, and the brain can only filter so much - I don't know how many millions of messages that come through the brain, and we can only filter so much through it.
A comedian needs to have his own filters, needs to know his audience, how far he can push things.
I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire. I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do.
I know you can be funny without being filthy.
In the Finals, you want to set a statement like, 'This is me. This is who I am.' You know everyone's watching.
The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity.
I lost a year or two in there, trying to get films financed that I didn't know would never get financing.
It can be a huge help to parents considering the adoption of an older child, when college is just a few years away, to know that there are post-adoption resources and specific financial assistance opportunities available to them.
What we know about the global financial crisis is that we don't know very much.
I don't want to talk about the regulation of financial markets because that is not my sphere of expertise. It's a very complicated topic, and if I have written a number of books they are always on topics that I think I know something about.
Financially, I've lost money and made money, but I know my way around financially.
No one knows who Peter Parker is. People just know who Spider-Man is. When you get that in the mix of growing up and finding yourself, that's more of a relatable tone than being Captain America and having the country's weight on your shoulders.
Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.
I do not know how I shall develop, but for the present, I am continuing to work within ordinary, generally known terrain, different only because of a deep substratum, which leads those who are receptive to sense the finer regions.
If there are finer beings than German short hairs, I don't know what they are. In their eyes is peace.
