You can be many miles away and press a button on a keyboard, and it can cause devastation.
— Chris Pine
I have such awful skin; it doesn't matter what magic serum they think they're putting on - I'll usually break out.
I like to listen to French radio; I'm trying to learn French.
My father calls acting 'a state of permanent retirement with short spurts of work.'
What am I going to tweet about? My sneakers?
At the end of the day, you have a job to do, and if you don't do your job, you're going to get fired. You just have to kind of put your head down and do it.
'Horrible Bosses' is just blatant, outright fun. I've read some of what the critics have said, and it's incredible how mean critics can be about comedies... It's so ridiculous.
I wanted to become an actor because I wanted friends.
More than anything, what we do as actors is to sit and watch, and I would never want to get so lost in the celebrity bubble I couldn't do that because my feet no longer touch the ground.
I broke my finger in a stunt in a very not-too-romantic way. I was just trying to tackle someone, and I just flicked his forearm and then screamed in pain.
You have to be able to carry a conversation. I think after the initial attraction kind of dies down. The lust dies down. There has to be the thing that engages you.
My name is not 'William Shatner.'
As an actor, it easy to be so self-critical, saying to yourself, 'Am I good enough? Am I good looking enough? Am I smart enough?'
On red carpets, as people throw questions at you, you try and answer as quickly as possible.
I cry all the time - at work, at the shrink's, with my lady. 'The Notebook' killed me. 'Up' destroyed me.
L.A.'s a pretty, warm, easy, breezy place. You can sunbathe, get a Mai Tai, and wake up five months later. And it's still sunny. And they're still serving Mai Tais.
Hollywood is like living in a weird bubble. A bunch of people take care of you and get you stuff, and you're the center of that little microcosmic world. You start believing that it is real and... you deserve it.
I like a fragrance that you notice and want to find out more about - get a bit closer. I don't want to walk in and be jolted awake by someone's smell.
I really like the ritual of shaving. I like getting the perfect brush and finding the right sandalwood soap. The act of shaving, though, is not fun. I like beards and the ease of them.
With Facebook and Twitter, everyone wants to publicize their innermost truths.
I was never much of a musical theater guy, but I have so much more respect for the art form, the physical exertion of doing eight shows on Broadway a week, I cannot even fathom it.
I'm very familiar with Tyler Perry.
Imagination is a pretty powerful thing, and when you're in the moment and you're riding a train and you're asked to look scared, I don't know, it just kind of works out. And in those moments where you're actually doing some of the stunts, then it's not so hard at all, because there's an actual fear there.
Musical theater is great; you get painted up, you get to play princesses and witches, and you sing. The joy alone of that can really carry a lot.
The first audition I went out on was because my father was on an audition for a TV show called the 'Gilmore Girls,' and that kind of snowballed a lot of stuff in my life.
From Drew Barrymore to Robert Downey Jr., there's a long list of people who have faced their troubles, wildly overcome them, and succeeded.
I've worked Keira Knightley quite a bit and Kevin Costner.
I usually just end up at home on my couch - reading.
There have been, like, three auditions in my life where I feel like I'm in a 'Saturday Night Live' skit.
The more you are positive and say, 'I want to have a good life,' the more you build that reality for yourself by creating the life that you want.
Critics think we try to make bad films. They think we want to spend five months of our lives making something bad. We always go out with the best of intentions, whether it's fluffy comedy or a drama.
You either listen to the naysayers and fall into the pit of self-loathing, or you stay on the path and move forward.
I like this idea of becoming fully realised.
I love the spy genre.
I like a deep sports massage - a casual beating up. I try to get them whenever I can, usually more if I'm getting in shape for a role.
The authentic experience, where is that? Living the moment. That is something that we're losing.
I don't think there's anything better than talk therapy.
I've sung in the shower for years.
I never really thought about myself being in really big movies at all. In fact, I always though I'd do, I don't know, smaller movies is not quite the right word, but more character-oriented, dramatic things. I took myself a little bit seriously.
A lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope.
I always enjoyed singing; I played guitar.
Lying does exist in crazy forms.
I'm an actor, but I am an awful liar.
Therapy's like going to the gym.
Sometimes I think I need to get crazy. Go to Vegas.
I really don't get recognized much.
I don't usually read self-help books, but I read a great book by a guy called Wayne Dyer: 'The Power of Intention,' which I loved.
Those big films are scary things. There's so much money behind those things. There's that hype. You enter a machine.
You see Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson, what they go through, and dude, that's not as exciting as it looks.
If you had no real training, if you hadn't spent years and years studying a martial art, how would you kill the bad guy?
