“The latitude and longitudinal lines of where you are born determine your opportunity in life, and it's not equal. We may have been created equal, but we're not born equal. It's a lot to do with luck and you have to pass that on.”
“I've been no stranger to change.”
“I don't feel restless, I just like to travel.”
“Actions speak louder than words, and it's no more true than with your kids.”
“When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn't a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of Self.”
“We sometimes let ourselves be rated too much by others - we put so much emphasis on a paycheck or what a magazine says.”
“You want to stake your own claim. You don't want to be called a copycat.”
“Happiness is overrated. There has to be conflict in life.”
“My kids are just waiting for me at home. I'm their father. They're wondering, 'When's Daddy coming home?'”
“I oscillate between agnosticism and atheism.”
“I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends, and I have my family, and I haven't known life to be any happier.”
“I start asking a lot of questions about my own life, and it's not necessarily fun, but it's a good exercise.”
“I think L.A. is impossible. There's just too much media focus. You can't live a normal life.”
“I grew up in Oklahoma and Missouri, and I just loved film. My folks would take us to the drive-in on summer nights, and we'd sit on the hood of the car. I just had this profound love for storytelling.”
“It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when you've seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that I'm watching someone's movie, or when I don't know how someone made a certain turn that I didn't expect . . . You know, I'm in.”
“I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house.”
“To leave home, it's got to be worth leaving.”
“I always liked film as a teaching tool - a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasn't on the list of career options where I grew up.”
“I am obsessively bent on quality - to an unhealthy degree.”
“When I first got out to Hollywood, they were pushing me for sitcoms, and I didn't really have an interest in them. I wanted to do films and slowly worked that way. And then it became, I guess, this curse of the leading man.”
