Every single time I start to do a picture, without fail, I feel as if I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm passionate about learning. I'm passionate about life.

I would live with all of my sisters if I could. We've always been very close, my sisters and me.

I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around me. That's what I want.

I love what I do. I take great pride in what I do. And I can't do something halfway, three-quarters, nine-tenths. If I'm going to do something, I go all the way.

I love kids. I was a kid myself, once.

I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. 'If there's no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.' That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that.

I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.

I didn't become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.

As a young actor, people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking, "This is what I love doing, and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever."

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you aren't completely embarassed yet, but you glimpse tomorrow's embarrassment?

Awards are wonderful. I've been nominated many times and I've won many awards. But my journey is not towards that. If it happens it will be a blast. If it doesn't, it's still been a blast.

I've been... chased by paparazzi, and they run lights, and they chase you and harass you the whole time. It happens all over the world, and it has certainly gotten worse. You don't know what it's like being chased by them.

Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.

I always look for a challenge and something that's different.
