I did one sci-fi movie. I did 'Gattaca.' I liked 'Gattaca' because that was always the kind of science fiction I really dug the non-action oriented sci-fi.

The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science.

As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise human science is at a loss.

Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery surrounded by it.

A powerful attraction exists therefore to the promotion of a study and of duties of all others engrossing the time most completely and which is less benefited than most others by any acquaintance with science.

I just want real reactions. I want people to laugh from the gut be sad from the gut - or get angry from the gut.

Every word facial expression gesture or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.

In the West audiences think I am a stereotyped action star or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong I did a lot of comedy many dramatic films and most of all romantic roles lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.

I want to do more action adventures and more romantic comedies.

The thing you can't let go of is gravity. The reality of gravity in writing. If someone says something really mean in a sitcom and the next wave isn't a reaction to the reality of that you start losing relatability. In a lot of romantic comedies they throw out the rules of life.

'I Am Number Four' is an action-packed adventure entwined with a romantic story. I play the role of John Smith. John wants to be a normal kid but he is from a different planet and he has been given this destiny of becoming a warrior.

I don't want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don't want to be the Dance Dude. I don't want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life it'd drive me crazy.

I would have loved to do 'Alice in Wonderland.' Being a 'Bond' girl would always be fun. We had a lot of action in 'Eclipse' and I'd definitely like to continue down the action road. I want to do a romantic period piece but those are really hard to get made because they're very expensive and there's not a huge demographic.

I had to satisfy the action fans the romantic fans the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.

My idea of a romantic night is to watch action films.

Surely our inaction with respect to Syria is a poor precedent if we're fighting a war on terror.

I have two dream roles: One would be a biopic of someone I admire and respect and the other one would be some sort of action drama film similar to a 'Bourne Identity.' I just really want to do an intelligent action drama film.

What I'd say about that is that we must respect homosexuals in the church. I've got many homosexual friends the issue is not in any way a homophobic reaction on my part.

Besides the healthcare bill being unconstitutional and a great expansion of federal government I think if it does not respect people's individual religious views and makes groups or individuals do things that are contrary to their deeply held beliefs there is going to be a visceral negative reaction.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Love is about mutual respect apart from attraction.

As an actor you really want to respect and honor the script. You want to try to be in the moment and you also realize that you're one part of a bigger picture and when they call action you have your dance.

We've become much more casual and much more relaxed in social interactions where there was a formality and maybe a kind of respect at that time that doesn't exist now.

In the mean time I worship God laying every wrong action under an interdict which I endeavour to respect and I loathe the wicked without doing them any injury.
