To be honest, I'm scared to death of rollercoaster rides.
-
I always wanted to be a cowboy, and Jedi Knights are basically cowboys in space, right?
-
Before 'Schindler's List,' I wouldn't have believed movies had a lot of power for social change.
-
I will never become a director or a movie producer. I was always looking at picture directing because I didn't know what to do! You can't be a movie director without real preparation.
-
I was reared a Catholic but I think every day we ask ourselves, not consciously, what are we doing on this planet? What's it all about?
-
You think your life is going one way and then suddenly, you're on another track.

Queen's University flies the flag for the arts in Northern Ireland and beyond.
-
I'm not the kind of actor that would know what my character had for breakfast last Tuesday.
-
Looking out for your children is an ongoing process throughout your life.
-
Acting with creatures that aren't there is kind like acting with an actor who refuses to come out of his trailer. You still have to go on and do the scene.

America has been very, very good to me.
-
I don't do my own stunts, but I do my own fighting. I don't consider fighting to be a stunt.
-
I don't think I'm funny.

-
I get fed up with plots that are driven by someone constantly getting information on a computer.
-
I try to be a hard boiled sometimes. My kids see right through it. I'm acting. It's always, 'When I say you'll be back at 11, that means 11, not 11.15. Do you hear me!?' Then, 'Yeah, Dad.'
-
I did, although I didn't read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry.
-
In bed at night, I could be reading some book, and I'll come across a sentence that's totally unrelated to some scene I did years ago. But I'll play the scene back in my mind and think, I did that wrong - I should've opened the door more slowly.
-
Yes, I'm Catholic; I'm proud of it. But I had lots of Protestant friends.

As you know, Hollywood loves to pigeonhole all the actors and actresses, and suddenly I got 're-pigeonholed' as an action actor.
-
I'm a big believer in acts of kindness, no matter how small.
-
I don't think that I am a sex symbol, although it's very flattering.
-
A sex symbol? A symbol of sex? I don't think that I am a sex symbol, although it's very flattering. I'm 59, now, so I think I'm possibly past my sell-by date. I think I am.

You can't act being a boxer. It's like being on stage.
