We have three centers: the emotional center the intellectual center and the physical body center. Each one of them has its own intelligence. How much better would we be if all three were working in unison?

I do not want to go into its physical reasons: the construction of the human body is different from that of carnivorous animals. But man's intelligence is such that it can be utilised to defend any-thing he does whether right or wrong.

On 'Into The Wild' I spent months risking my life and on 'Speed Racer' I spent 60 days acting in front of a green screen. No danger to my physical self but I sure had to use my imagination.

I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination. And it's just fantastic to be there alongside Louie as he's breaking the NCAA mile record. People at these vigorous moments in their lives - it's my way of living vicariously.

To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.

You will certainly not doubt the necessity of studying astronomy and physics if you are desirous of comprehending the relation between the world and Providence as it is in reality and not according to imagination.

There are certain things I learned when I first started learning about acting to try and place the character physically and emotionally. And the way you place them emotionally is often with humor.

In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity no humor no overstatement can quite extinguish the physicists have known sin and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.

A laugh is a surprise. And all humor is physical. I was always athletic so that came naturally to me.

I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can't physically entertain any longer. It's what I was born to do and I love this profession.
