I started acting when I was 13 years old and I feel like I really admire actors who are these kind of amazing shape-changing people, that they almost can turn themselves into other people.
One of the things I can do is to try to put myself in different kinds of movies and that kind of subtly changes my work. By the time my obituary is written, I want there to be a great western and a great comedy.
The only thing I can point to of why I survived is I have a family that loves me and never wanted any money from me.
I have a daughter and the thing I wish for her is not love, fame, money or anything like that. It’s just one great best friend. You know, if you have somebody that has your back, you’re gonna be all right.
If you covet fame, if you covet all the superficial accolades, you’re gonna be miserable ’cause you’re never going to get enough praise. If you covet contributing something substantive to movies, music, literature, then you won’t be unhappy.
The idea that a film is created in the editing room – it’s only a certain kind of movie that’s made in the editing room and it’s not one that I really want to see.
You are always in the right place at exactly the right time, and you always have been.
Pay attention: what you need to know is usually in front of you. There are no secrets, just things people choose not to notice.
There have always been two ways to be rich: by accumulating vast sums or by needing very little.
Love. Love is the end goal. It is the music of our lives. There is no obstacle that enought love cannot move.
Like a dead branch falling from a tree, which them decomposes and nourishes the soil, your disappointments can transform into the elements of change and growth.
Understanding that he relies on all that surrounds him, a knight is kind above all.
Habit, routine, and too much consistency numb our minds and pave the road for us to sleepwalk through our lives. Nothing stays the same. Everything passes, and everything changes. However, do not move too much. As an apple tree cannot bear fruit if it is too often transplanted, neither will a knight who is always building a new castle.
Stand like you deserve to be here.
Speech. Do not speak ill of others. A knight does not spread news that he does not know to be certain, or condemn things that he does not understand.
With practice, you build the road to accomplish your goals. Excellence lives in attention to detail. Give your all, all the time. Don’t save anything for the walk home.
Humility. Never announce that you are a knight, simply behave as one. You are better than no one, and no one is better than you.
I learned that evening that rain falls equally on all things. Jealousy, fear, and anger are obstacles to a knight’s first goal: a clear mind.
The peregrine falcon is the swiftest, most adept animal I have ever seen. It is worth noting that, like many bird, the falcon’s bones are hollow. Travel light.
We all see the world through the prism of our identity.
