The first time I smoked was at home with my mother and stepfather they were like, If you are going to do this, we'd rather you did this with us.

My mother is a professor of early childhood education. When I was two she would say she knew I was going to be an actor.

The only way I can describe it-at the end of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, you know how his heart grows like five times? Everything is full it's just full all the time.

Part of the American ethos is that you want to leave something better for your kids than you had and I know that my parents felt that way and I know that my grandparents felt that way and everybody worked hard so that their kids had a better chance. I just don't want to be the first generation that doesn't do that.

If Brad Pitt walked down the street, cars would crash into each other. I'm really lucky not to have to deal with that.

If there's an idea I think is really good and I feel like I can write it, then I'll do it.

You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better.

Most films and directors lose their nerve and want to indicate [emotions] a bit more, to show that their story is clear. I'm not saying that's a good thing as an actor its anathema to good acting, but to have someone with the confidence to say that should I be utterly natural and minimalist is great.

For a lot of actors, our biggest fear is that we're going to start talking about things we don't fully understand and sound like idiots.

I believe a solid, really strong middle-class is the key to making the country in the best way.

I don't see as many movies as I used to. Or, I should say, as many movies as I would like to.

Any moron with a pack of matches can start a fire. Raining down sulfur takes a huge level of endurance. Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer.

I should have done it years ago. It's amazing I didn't even want cigarettes anymore.

Bond is part of the system. He's an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis. It'll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment, who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they're just very different things.

I think it's still hard for me to turn down work if it's really good because for so many years I was desperate to get a job and couldn't, so I think it's anathema for me to turn down work if I think it's really good.

If anybody wanted to photograph my life, they'd get bored in a day.

The values that I have are the values I was raised with, from where I'm from, which is a middle-class place. So that informs everything about me, my politics and all that stuff. I mean, politically, I vote against my own self-interest at every election. I actively ask these people to raise my taxes.

If you're just an actor you're reactive. You're saying, Well, I hope Hollywood gives me a role, or gives me a chance at a role, whereas if you can generate your own content, then you can go where you want to go.

For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.

When you have a child, your relationship with every child in the world changes. It's like you're in a club you didn't know existed before a child came into your life. I believe you should make the world more beautiful for all children in any way that you can.
