"When he talks, he has so much energy it's almost like he's dancing. So I used that to choreograph his action scenes." - John Woo
"The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that's why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It's not that hard. Sign your own checks, be responsible."
"I don't drink but I had a beer that night and they only did one set up like that. I'm a cheap date. What can I say?" -- to Jay Leno regarding his topless Vanity Fair cover shoot.
"We knew from the beginning the level of commitment needed. We felt honored to work with Stanley Kubrick. We were going to do what it took to do this picture, whatever time, because I felt - and Nic [Nicole Kidman] did, too - that this was going to be a really special time for us. We knew it would be difficult. But I would have absolutely kicked myself if I hadn't done this." - Talking about "Eyes Wide Shut".
"I have cooked turkeys in my day but when Mom's around I let her do it."
"I was 18 when I saw Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. After about 30 seconds I relaised that this was not just a cultural thing, it was universal. Years later I read Bushido. It talked about many things that I strive for in my own life: loyality, compassion, responsibility, the idea of looking back on your life and taking responsibility for everything you've ever done. I'm fascinated by the samurai and the samurai code - it's one of the main reasons I wanted to make The Last Samurai."
"Awards are wonderful. I've been nominated many times and I've won many awards. But my journey is not towards that. If it happens it will be a blast. If it doesn't, it's still been a blast."
"I believe in life. I know that life comes in at your heart and it doesn't matter if you're an actor, a filmmaker or a gentleman on the street, it comes at you. What Scientology gives me is the tools to deal with that, to better enjoy my life and to be able to contribute more."
[On his role as the hitman in 'Collateral'] "I've never played a character like this before. Vincent interested me because he is such an anti-social personality, bringing destruction and chaos with him wherever he goes. He's a force of nature."
I remember getting through high school and thinking, 'Boy, I'm glad I got that behind me!' Then when I was 19, I got 'Risky Business,' and I realized, 'Ah, so this is life - it's a little bigger than I thought!
As a young actor, people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking, 'This is what I love doing, and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever.
I've had a very interesting life. There are ways of handling the complexities. I'm willing to take on responsibilities as a father, as a producer, as an actor - and I enjoy that. I've always been changing and evolving and growing. There's no pinnacle of power where you can sit back and rest.
Because I grew up in so many different places, I was used to rumors [about me]. You know, I didn't have the right shoes, I didn't have the right clothes. I even had the wrong accent.
