Teens think listening to music helps them concentrate. It doesn't. It relieves them of the boredom that concentration on homework induces.

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world then it can only happen through music.

Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it's something that it doesn't get a day off.

Cronenberg's a lot of fun and that a lot of people don't know watching his movies. He doesn't take himself seriously. He's still reinventing himself.

That's the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office you will be offered more movies. It doesn't matter if you're a nice guy or you're a prick. If your movies do well there's a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It's not any more complicated than that.

Movies are hard work. The public doesn't see that. The critics don't see it. But they're a lot of work. A lot of work.

It's difficult to do a genre film well and it doesn't matter if you're talking vampire movies or 'Dawn of the Dead' or 'The Thing' or 'Escape From New York.' Those kind of movies they understand what the old-school B-movie is supposed to be they get the throwback of it.

I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance it doesn't have to be a creature.

I don't really make movies because I want to see my face on a billboard or because I want to get good reviews or have a big box office. That doesn't really matter to me at all.

I was terrified to do 'G.I. Joe.' I had no idea how to do one of those movies. I was kind of scared. You know if one of those doesn't work it's a huge hit on your career. People are like 'Well he couldn't make a $170 million movie work. I don't want him in my film.'

In all the movies I'm in love with someone in my head. There's always love in a film somewhere. It doesn't matter even if it's an action movie.

I would do anything for a part nearly anything. Being in movies doesn't mean being pretty.

We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society too.

It doesn't much signify whom one marries for one is sure to find next morning that it was someone else.

New Orleans life is such a night life. The thing that comes up very often is that our day essentially doesn't start until midnight or 2 in the morning.

Well he doesn't make me laugh. I think I've got a fair sense of humour but I can't really see it in him. I've listened to his show on the radio on a Saturday morning and that's a load of mince as well.

The school-boy doesn't force himself to learn his vocabularies and rules altogether at night but knows that be must impress them again in the morning.

I don't have an iPod. I mean I have a couple. Doesn't everyone? But I don't use it. I need to because I go to the gym now and I'm tired of listening to morning radio. I want some music! I do have a video iPod but I don't use it either.

We hear the stories every day now: the father who puts on a suit every morning and leaves the house so his daughter doesn't know he lost his job the recent college grad facing up to the painful reality that the only door that's open to her after four years of study and a pile of debt is her parents'. These are the faces of the Obama economy.

Sometimes I wish that there were a way to let people know that just because I live in a world without rules and in a life that is lawless doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt so bad the morning after.

The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs.

What counts in Hollywood is box office. It doesn't really matter what people think of you as an actor because as long as you have been in a movie that has made money you will always get another job.

When you try to find funding for a VVA function it doesn't seem like it's any trouble at all. People come out of the woodwork with their money to help out because we went over and fought a war.

Money doesn't buy class.
