I'm so envious of that genetic wiring that immediately puts a smile on your face. My genetic wiring just puts creases in my eyebrows.Collection: Smile
For me growing up, Christmas time was always the most fantastic, exciting time of year, and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also, maybe, they were in collusion with Santa Claus.Collection: Christmas
I love architecture.Collection: Architecture
The more you are positive and say, 'I want to have a good life,' the more you build that reality for yourself by creating the life that you want.Collection: Good
I enjoy dating. I love first dates. I think they're incredibly fascinating studies in human psychology. When you sit down across from someone on a first date and things are going alright, you talk objectives. We want to win each other over, so how do you win someone over? You have to put the best foot forward.Collection: Dating
I do like dating cynics - they tend to be incredibly funny.Collection: Dating
We come from fallible parents who were kids once, who decided to have kids and who had to learn how to be parents. Faults are made and damage is done, whether it's conscious or not. Everyone's got their own 'stuff,' their own issues, and their own anger at Mom and Dad. That is what family is. Family is almost naturally dysfunctional.Collection: Anger
Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it's one thing. I don't have a lot of time to think about dating.Collection: Dating
For me, fragrances are very - one of these beautiful art forms that bring about a whole host of things. It's what you want to smell like, it's memories that make you smile or are resonant of times in your life, it can remind you of music. If you're a lover of scent, it's a very kind of particular and evocative thing.Collection: Smile
Dating someone on the opposite end of the happy spectrum teaches you an incredible amount of patience.Collection: Dating
I like a deep sports massage - a casual beating up. I try to get them whenever I can, usually more if I'm getting in shape for a role.Collection: Sports
Fear runs our lives. It doesn't matter who you are. You have to understand your relationship with fear. Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up.Collection: Relationship
I do enjoy doing action quite clearly, but I also really like doing comedy.
Everybody's got family, or they don't have family, but they come from somewhere.
Anytime you take on a character... you just have to find the parts of the character that you can understand.
No matter how bad the individual, everybody has reasons for why they do what they do.
I love the spy genre.
Hollywood is like living in a weird bubble. A bunch of people take care of you and get you stuff, and you're the center of that little microcosmic world. You start believing that it is real and... you deserve it.
If you had no real training, if you hadn't spent years and years studying a martial art, how would you kill the bad guy?
I like this idea of becoming fully realised.
L.A.'s a pretty, warm, easy, breezy place. You can sunbathe, get a Mai Tai, and wake up five months later. And it's still sunny. And they're still serving Mai Tais.
You see Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson, what they go through, and dude, that's not as exciting as it looks.
I cry all the time - at work, at the shrink's, with my lady. 'The Notebook' killed me. 'Up' destroyed me.
Those big films are scary things. There's so much money behind those things. There's that hype. You enter a machine.
Critics think we try to make bad films. They think we want to spend five months of our lives making something bad. We always go out with the best of intentions, whether it's fluffy comedy or a drama.
On red carpets, as people throw questions at you, you try and answer as quickly as possible.
I don't usually read self-help books, but I read a great book by a guy called Wayne Dyer: 'The Power of Intention,' which I loved.
As an actor, it easy to be so self-critical, saying to yourself, 'Am I good enough? Am I good looking enough? Am I smart enough?'
I really don't get recognized much.
My name is not 'William Shatner.'
Sometimes I think I need to get crazy. Go to Vegas.
I usually just end up at home on my couch - reading.
You have to be able to carry a conversation. I think after the initial attraction kind of dies down. The lust dies down. There has to be the thing that engages you.
Therapy's like going to the gym.
I've worked Keira Knightley quite a bit and Kevin Costner.
I broke my finger in a stunt in a very not-too-romantic way. I was just trying to tackle someone, and I just flicked his forearm and then screamed in pain.
I'm an actor, but I am an awful liar.
From Drew Barrymore to Robert Downey Jr., there's a long list of people who have faced their troubles, wildly overcome them, and succeeded.
More than anything, what we do as actors is to sit and watch, and I would never want to get so lost in the celebrity bubble I couldn't do that because my feet no longer touch the ground.
Lying does exist in crazy forms.
The first audition I went out on was because my father was on an audition for a TV show called the 'Gilmore Girls,' and that kind of snowballed a lot of stuff in my life.
I wanted to become an actor because I wanted friends.
I always enjoyed singing; I played guitar.
Musical theater is great; you get painted up, you get to play princesses and witches, and you sing. The joy alone of that can really carry a lot.
'Horrible Bosses' is just blatant, outright fun. I've read some of what the critics have said, and it's incredible how mean critics can be about comedies... It's so ridiculous.
A lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope.
Imagination is a pretty powerful thing, and when you're in the moment and you're riding a train and you're asked to look scared, I don't know, it just kind of works out. And in those moments where you're actually doing some of the stunts, then it's not so hard at all, because there's an actual fear there.
At the end of the day, you have a job to do, and if you don't do your job, you're going to get fired. You just have to kind of put your head down and do it.
I never really thought about myself being in really big movies at all. In fact, I always though I'd do, I don't know, smaller movies is not quite the right word, but more character-oriented, dramatic things. I took myself a little bit seriously.
I'm very familiar with Tyler Perry.
