I’ve gotten away with a lot in my life. The older you get the more you realize you’re not getting away with it, it’s taking its toll somewhere. So you try not to put yourself in those situations. Part of the mysterious process called growing up. Some people do that better than others.
People look back on those days through a thick veil of nostalgia, but life was hard if you were anything other than a rich, powerful white male.
Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can’t really control life – so you’d better live it while it’s here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.
It is nice when things end. That is what stories do – they end. It is hard to write endings and it is hard to come to the end of things, but I think when it is done right, it is a very satisfying way to appreciate something.
I came in the Dawson’s Creek era; it was all about tiny guys who looked like teenagers, and I haven’t looked like a teenager ever. So I was, like, auditioning to be their dads. At 25.
It couldn’t be a simpler answer. Marriage doesn’t really mean anything to me. I feel like in many ways marriage is more for the families of the couple than for the people involved, so I don’t gravitate to it.
I’m painfully aware of my surroundings at all times.
I like kids but I also like the option to close the door. Becoming a parent is a whole other life, and it doesn’t stop.
Part of being an adult is treating women like women.
I played Winnie the Pooh in first grade. I was an early adopter of standing in front of people and looking like an idiot.
Any time you’re making a movie, all you want to do is reduce the variables of things that could possibly go wrong. I think that’s why we work with the same people over and over again.
I was raised by a single mother and I’ve been in a 10-year relationship with my girlfriend. My whole life I’ve been surrounded by women.
For a kid who’s lost his mom and all the rage and grief that no one was able to talk out of me, football was a very therapeutic sport. Very.
I think pets are great. They’re better than kids, that’s for sure.
