I enjoyed working with Stephen Merchant. He was wonderful. I’ve been such a big fan of his acting.

There’s no real excuse for being successful enough as an actor to do what you want and then selling out. You do it pure. You don’t try to adapt it, make it commercial.

The thing I enjoyed most were visits from children. They did not want public office.

I’m a huge fan of R. Kelly’s. He’s a musical genius and probably the most prolific artist of the generation before mine.

Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.

If you realize all the time what’s kind of wonderful – that is, if we expand our experience into wilder and wilder regions of experience – every once in a while, we have these integrations when everything’s pulled together into a unification, in which it turns out to be simpler than it looked before.

I met Will Smith twice. I didn’t talk to him for too long but I was trying to let him know that my age group grew up watching him – he was the coolest guy on television and the coolest guy in movies.

I’m not looking to get away from anything. I like what I’ve done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible.

I don’t call myself a Buddhist. I’m a free spirit. I believe I’m here on earth to admire and enjoy it; that’s my religion.

I want to destroy ownership in order that possession and enjoyment may be raised to the highest point in every section of the community.

I’ll continue to make the typical Adam Sandler comedies.

I really am a fan of Ye’s music.

I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or course, I think he’s terrific; because I know he always had to fight being what he looked like a lot, but I think he’s a terrific actor.

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.

There is a need for aloneness, which I don’t think most people realise for an actor. It’s almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you’ll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you’re acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They’d all like sort of a chunk of you.

I’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

In order for me to be successful… In order to be a great artist – musician, actor, painter, whatever – you must be able to be private in public at all times. That is what we do.

You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.

The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don’t meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it’s essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you’re going to be an actor.

100 percent a huge fan of Beyonce. If I see her, I will faint. I’ve met her before. I just get really nervous and quiet – I just shut up and bow down.

If you look at my job, my union card, it says ‚actor.‘ It don’t say nothing about celebrity, movie star, nothing like that, and that’s one thing that keeps me humble.

A man’s delight in looking forward to and hoping for some particular satisfaction is a part of the pleasure flowing out of it, enjoyed in advance. But this is afterward deducted, for the more we look forward to anything the less we enjoy it when it comes.

The only film I’ve enjoyed starring a wrestler was Mickey Rourke in ‚The Wrestler.‘

Bob Dylan is like an alien on this earth, and I love him! I cried when I saw him play live because I was so close to him.

If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.

I was lousy in school. Real screwed-up. A moron. I was antisocial and didn’t bother with the other kids. A really bad student. I didn’t have any brains. I didn’t know what I was doing there. That’s why I became an actor.

He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.

I think I mainly climb mountains because I get a great deal of enjoyment out of it. I never attempt to analyze these things too thoroughly, but I think that all mountaineers do get a great deal of satisfaction out of overcoming some challenge which they think is very difficult for them, or which perhaps may be a little dangerous.

You just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible.

I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

Enjoyment is an incredible energizer to the human spirit.

I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.

The music we do is for people to enjoy, dance and sing to it. Dreamers – keep on dreaming and keep working hard to achieve your goals. There are many difficulties, but what matters is to stay focused and have perseverance.

Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.

While we look to the dramatist to give romance to realism, we ask of the actor to give realism to romance.

It’s a real strength for me that I’ve never minded the training process. It’s something I enjoy. I really like being in the gym or, certainly, on the field.

The knighthood was a tremendous honour, I don’t dismiss it. But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor.

I’m very type-A, and many things in my life are about control and domination, but eating should be a submissive experience, where you let down your guard and enjoy the ride.

Our stories come from our lives and from the playwright’s pen, the mind of the actor, the roles we create, the artistry of life itself and the quest for peace.

Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.

Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.

Movies were invented for Jimmy Cagney, and he was invented for the movies. A perfect match.

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.

It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.

If I was just a fan of music, I would think that I was the number one artist in the world.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.

I like being able to be on the inside of music, rather than on the outside listening to it.

Living big and joyful and content is almost always the result of our finding satisfaction in life’s ordinary day-to-day pleasures. And God must be fond of them, too, for He made so many of them for us to enjoy.

Oh yes. I’m an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought.

I am more than just a serious basketball fan. I am a life-long addict. I was addicted from birth, in fact, because I was born in Kentucky and I learned, early on, that Habitual Domination was a natural way of life.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

It takes up enough of my time and interest just working on comedy. I just enjoy it and love doing it.

I never wanted to stay in one genre; I never wanted to be pigeon-holed or defined as the actor who only worked in one genre. I want to be able to work in all different genres. For me it’s fun, and that’s how I grow as an actor.

I believe the right question to ask, respecting all ornament, is simply this; was it done with enjoyment, was the carver happy while he was about it?

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

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

When ‚Paul’s Boutique‘ came out, I was one of the fans that didn’t get it.

I do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.

I love the Sex Pistols. I’m a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.
