We put this 15-year old girl on the cover of a fashion magazine, and tell everyone she is the epitome of sexual perfection, but we jail anyone who touches her for another three years.

Humility was a cult in my family. I only got it out of my father by accident when he was very old that he had won an Olympic gold medal.

People are falling all over themselves to send you free shoes and free cufflinks and colonic irrigations for two. Nobody ever offers you a free acceptance speech. There just seems to be a gap in the market. I would love to be able to pull out a speech by Dolce & Gabbana.

Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.

I grew up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I'm a bit miffed with our current love affair with all things Eastern. If I sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea. But I'd no sooner take that than eat a pencil. Maybe that's why I took up boxing. It's my response to men in white pajamas feeling each other's chi.

I am very, very aware at all times. I'm watching myself, I'm listening to myself, I'm judging myself, critiquing myself all the time, and I will know when I do something and I will immediately say, Can I do another one, because I didn't quite get that thing, or that I wanted to do something there and it didn't quite work.

I would just hear piano players and I would hear music, and just think - I don't just want to sit here and passively listen I want to get inside it.

Piano was - well, all musical instruments were taught in this very rigid, formal, classical method when I was young.

I travel to work on my motorcycle, so it's jeans, boots and a brown Aero leather jacket that weighs as much as I do. If it were black, it would seem like I've got a Brando idea going on, which I don't.

Just because it's a bad job doesn't mean I need to do it badly.

Having a vote once every four years is not the same thing as democracy.

I rowed for Cambridge. I was pretty good at that.

I suppose actors crave attention of some kind or they have suffered some form of arrested development and are still living in a sort of child's fantasy existence at some level in their psyche.

Riding my motorcycle around L.A. is like my own video game. But unlike many folks at the wheel, I am occupied with getting where I'm going and keeping myself safe. Most people are applying makeup, texting, and checking out the beauty in the next car.

I think maybe even one of the reasons I became an actor was actually to hide. I mean, it sounds paradoxical because, of course, people are standing up in a public place and encouraging other people to look at them. So that's not the conventional definition of hiding.

You hope that your teenage self would like and forgive your 50-year-old self.

It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what.

Happiness is the twinkle in your grandmother's eye as you reverse the tractor off her legs.

They, all of them, work incredibly hard to make me seem clever and heroic, neither of which I am.

Now, my mom always said two wrongs don't make a right. But she never said anything about four wrongs, and that always left me confused.
