I got interested in the justice system. If I was, I’d probably be a defense lawyer. I was headed that way, but luckily changed my track to film school.
Now, you lose something in your life, or you come into a conflict, and there’s gonna come a time that you’re gonna know: There was a reason for that. And at the end of your life, all the things you thought were periods, they turn out to be commas. There was never a full stop in any of it.
I say to the paparazzi, ‘Fellas, take your shot and go.’ It’s just they usually find me on a beach.
Starting at about, I guess, forever, I’ve always looked forward to getting older. When I was 14, I couldn’t wait to be 16 and get a driver’s license.
The best education I’ve had in my life is to travel.
We have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there’s enough room for all of us to succeed.
When I see grace in a woman, that’s very sexy. You can tell by how someone moves or their rhythm.
My lawyer has been a good friend of mine for a long time. He and I continuously have conversations.
There aren’t many things that are universally cool, and it’s cool not to litter. I’d never do it.
A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.
I’m a pretty loyal guy with friends and family, I’ve had the same friends for a long time.
For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine’s Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T – that’s a bad word that doesn’t go with L-O-V-E.
The one thing that will be the bane of my existence with my kid will probably be the way he or she is most like me in some ways.
I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day’s schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.
The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don’t meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it’s essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you’re going to be an actor.
I love Los Angeles, and it’s been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who’s living them? You don’t play characters that are celebrities – you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank’s blocked.
It’s one of the things I love about making films: the places I’ve got to travel that I would never have gone to before.
I think the discipline comes with turning that cellphone and Blackberry off and unplugging completely. You do that and you go through some withdrawals in the beginning. You start thinking, ‘Oh, do I need to do this? Do I need to do that?’ You forget that we were doing just fine with the payphone.
I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you’re expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you’re not asking for it.
I’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.
