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 think if technology is used in a way that is not responsible, that is a bad thing. I think technology and where it is going inevitable, and there's great benefits that can help an individual in society at large.

I've had such extremes in my life. From being this kind of wild kid, to one year studying to be a Franciscan priest at the seminary....I was very frustrated.

But I think also you look at Scientology it is the fastest growing religion. It's helped so many people.

Where do I get my seriousness? You can't help but grow up fast when your parents get divorced. You see your mother go to get food stamps and she's making fifty dollars too much to get them, with four kids to support.

I have cooked turkeys in my day but when Mom`s around I let her do it.

I don't care if you print something nasty about me. If it's true, fine. I don't care. But just make sure it's the truth.

Here's how I've lived my life: I've never been late to a set. I make films I believe in. I feel privileged to be able to do what I love.

When you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that.

I've learned to relax more. Everybody feels pressure in what they do, maybe mine is just a little different because there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to accomplish what I want to.

I kept looking [at Katie] and thinking, 'This woman's amazing.' I'm happy that I'm with her. She's amazing, and I'd think the same of her even if she wasn't with me - she's just amazing.

If someone doesn’t want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life. You have no idea how many people want to know what Scientology is.

Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?

I've spent many birthdays on a movie set, all great days.

Whether it's making a film or raising my children, personally I'm striving to do the right things and to learn.

My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment. I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night.

Everybody dies, Sally. The thing is to die well.

Stanley Kubrick was brilliant at getting under the audience's skin. He was very interested in the idea of, 'How can I tell this with just a camera?'

I'm not greedy. I just want my half.

Even in my dreams, I’m an idiot who knows he’s about to wake up to reality.

Stanley Kubrick was very selective when he went into a close-up. Every director has his taste in a performance, but Stanley would explore a scene to find what was most interesting for him.

I've always thought of the audience. I just want to entertain the audience. That's what it's about: what's good for the movie, what's best for the movie, what's best for the audience.

Making a movie is like a chess game. It's about constantly changing patterns, adapting to new things. It's not just black and white, as you know.

I used to go to Maple Leafs games all the time when Nic shot To Die For here in Toronto. This is a great city. I love it here.

On film Vanilla Sky: You're going to get the full experience of what love is.

Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe? Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know.

Who hasn't danced in their underwear?

Psychiatry is a pseudoscience.... You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do...Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you don't even -you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is.

There is Life in every breath.

I feel the need... the need for speed.

Seriously, I would go in a second. I'd be the first actor in space and I'd love to do it.

There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance.

I didn't become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.

I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.

Today, people can say anything they want. Suddenly it gets in the rumor mill and then it evolves and then somehow it becomes fact and you say, What is this? You know, why don't you ask me?

They smell good. They look pretty. I love women. I do.

I'm usually nervous to meet people that I admire because what if they're not cool or something?

When I'm promoting a film, I'm not going to get caught up in anything else, and that includes all my personal things.

I don't pretend to be the character. I am the character.

It seems to me that if there were any logic to our language, trust would be a four letter word.

Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident... you know you have to do something about it because you know you're the only one that can really help.

As a kid, when I got to the edge of a cliff I wanted to jump off. I didn't want to kill myself. I wanted to fly.

I'm always around my mother and sisters. I always wanted to be a father, a husband.

I just want to help people. I'm a helper. For instance, I myself have helped hundreds of people get off drugs. In Scientology, we have the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. It's called Narconon.

I don't hide from cameras or anything. It doesn't bother me. I don't seek our press for the women I'm dating, but if it finds me, it finds me.

I love adventure movies, I just love action adventure films. It's pure cinema and you go in and you're lost to it. To me, it's that challenge - I want to give an audience that ride, that entertainment.

I had to train myself to focus my attention. I became very visual and learned how to create mental images in order to comprehend what I read.

But my friends are happy for me. The people who know me are happy. My mom is happy. My family is happy.

Emotions kick up. You try not to kick things up, but you go through things you can't help.

I'll never forget the moment I became a dad. It's hard to describe-that level of responsibility, the desire to give such joy, the clarity: Nothing is more important than this.
