Sometimes I’d like to play the bad guy and sometimes I’d like to die in a movie.

If my life was a movie, no one would believe it.

I’ve known Ben Stiller for a minute. One of my first movies was ‚Along Came Polly.‘

I really want a movie made on Sachin Tendulkar’s life. That is something I’m looking forward to. There will be so much emotion to that movie.

‚Rocky‘ and ‚Rocky III‘ were the best.

You can’t remember the plot of the Dr Who movie because it didn’t have one, just a lot of plot holes strung together. It did have a lot of flashing lights, though.

If music be the food of love, play on.

After all those years in Asia, I don’t have to do promotion anymore. We just release a Jackie Chan movie and – Boom! – people go.

I didn’t like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions – the curtain was up.

We’re going to have to work. We’re going to have to play well. Nothing will be given to us.

I’ve got a great sense of humor, and if I’m able to say or do something in a movie that people feel like they want to repeat, that’s hugely flattering.

Old age: the crown of life, our play’s last act.

Some mystery should be left in the revelation of character in a play, just as a great deal of mystery is always left in the revelation of character in life, even in one’s own character to himself.

The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

‚Be Cool‘ was a defining movie for me.

The most propagandistic element of ‚Frozen‘ was the transformation of the prince at the beginning of the story, who was a perfectly good guy, into a villain with no character development whatsoever about three-quarters of the way to the ending.

I think kids are natural actors. You watch most kids; if they don’t have a toy, they’ll pick up a stick and make a toy out of it. Kids will daydream all the time.

I love good film, whether it’s an independent or studio film. The independent films, I think the good ones aren’t necessarily eccentric ones but they’re the more specific ones.

If the boy and girl walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand in the last scene, it adds 10 million to the box office.

In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is.

I remember coming to New York in 1974 to do a play here called ‚Equis.‘ And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets, and I thought, ‚I’m home.‘ I felt really at peace here.

I’m working on my life story. I’m not decided if it’s going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.

I look at other people’s lives, and some people feel like they’re too old to play with toys. But I still go through the toy section at the store, ‚cause there were toys that I wanted when I was little that I couldn’t have. So I still get them.

Growing up I didn’t watch movies.

As much as I love the Western genre, I figured if I kept doing those, I’d eventually run out of steam on that, and that would’ve been the end of it.

Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.

I always felt that if I was going to do a movie, I wanted it to be authentic.

Life must be lived as play.

I am a fan of the ‚Rocky‘ films, and ‚Rocky 4‘ is my favourite. I also like ‚The Warriors.‘

‚Best Man Holiday‘ was a very successful film.

During my school days, I was doing a play, and my costume fell on the stage. I really wish it didn’t happen.

I want to make a good, solid kung fu movie.

I’m a pretty funny guy, and I would love to do a comedy with a bunch of funny guys – movie-star guys, where they could help me through it.

If you look at ‚Blade Runner,‘ it’s been cut sixteen ways from Sunday, and there are all kinds of different versions of it.

When people protest and are upset with a movie, it becomes a big hit. They hated Passion of The Christ, it worked out pretty well for the box office. So let’s get that going.

I think if you make a good movie, people walk away arguing.

We should play free football, defend lively with a passion, and have the best understanding in offence.

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.

One of the great pleasures of going to see a Daniel Day-Lewis film: you haven’t seen him in five years. Where have you been? So, it’s a special event, right? Well, if you want to go see a movie that I’m in, it still may be a special event for you, but, you don’t feel like you don’t know where I’ve been.

I like the idea of making a big, fun, adventure type of movie.

The skin of my character in ‚The Man Who Fell to Earth‘ was some concoction, a spermatozoon of an alien nature that was obscene and weird-looking.

If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved… or star in a movie.

As long as I stay in training and play well, I don’t see what objection there can be to what I do off the field.

I came here in 1974 to do a play, and then I went to L.A. I really like living in America. I feel more at home here than anywhere else.

If you look at me in ‚Ride Along,‘ even though I’m playing two different characters, my demeanor and my tone were not aggressive.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.

‚Unforgiven‘ is probably an example of a script that I liked right away but thought, ‚This is great, but I’d like to do this when I’m older.‘ So I stuck it in the drawer for ten years and then took it out.

Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys… Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma’s house… and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn’t stay awake for both.

That’s a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time.

Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.

It’s much more fun to play something you’re nothing like than what you are… It’s much easier to hide yourself in a character.

Life’s like a play: it’s not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.
