Victor Hugo

My tastes are aristocratic, my actions democratic.

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.

Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
