I walked away from acting for eight years and tried to make the choice that I should have made when I was 21. But, it doesn't make any difference. Nothing changed. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

I'm not apologizing to anyone. I'll apologize when hell freezes over.

We all present a version of ourselves whether you've got a puppet on your hand or not. To actually be very real out there in a public way, why?

There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark. I want to apologise specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested.

There are messages about civilisations and we are trying to be true to history as much as possible. We wanted all this to gel with some good theory about why these civilisations went down, why they weakened and crumbled. Because they did, they vanished.

The only way to maintain a moderate sum of happiness in this life, is not to worry about the future or regret the past too much

I'm too rich to care what the critics say.
