“My mom has this ugly Santa ornament, and one year, I took it off the tree and clipped it to her pillow. We've been trading it back and forth ever since - 16 years now. I wore it to the Golden Globes and even put it in her bird feeder. As the birds eat, it's slowly revealed.”

“I don't think I could keep my position as a well-standing man in the world if I thought there were roles for men and women.”

“I'm a full-contact actor, meaning that I love to act in my toes and in my fingers, and I just try to keep it surprising.”

“When I started playing, my mom said there were three players she wanted me to watch - Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.”

“The struggle between God and man breaks out in everyone, together with the longing for reconciliation... God does not love weak souls and flabby flesh. The spirit desires to wrestle with flesh which is strong and full of resistance. It is a carnivorous bird which is incessantly hungry; it eats flesh and, by assimilating it, makes it disappear.”

“When I do a picture and it's 90% black, like 'Bird,' I use 90% black people.”
